Does anybody know of a drop-in replacement that we can program with PBP? I recently drove a stepper with a BS2 (because it was preexisting), and it is pathetically slow.
Thanks!

Here's one:

You should see one heck of an improvement. Try the turbo (40 mhz) PIC18F2520 version.
Looks like they are out of stock though. I think I have seen others. Just can't find them now.

Hi,
Basically, a BS2 is a PIC 16C57 ... with some peripherals as EEPROM, regulator, Brownout circuit ...
The scheme and components list is available on Parallax site ...

Walter--thanks; I checked them out...unfortunately they've discontinued it. Apparently nobody wants them.
Alain--I'm aware of that. I only want a couple, and I don't want to waste the time laying out a board if I can buy one finished.
That's too bad. It looked pretty cool. It looks like you might have to make one yourself, you could use their design: http://www.sourceboost.com/Products/...urbo_schem.pdfQuote:

Well, it's not programmable in PBP (and is AVR based) but ZBasic has models that are pin compatible with most Stamps.Quote:
