Processor

We’d far rather program in reasonable, object-oriented languages, so given that the Parallax Javelin Stamp offered both that and the peripheral device support we needed — the sigma delta analog-to-digital converter and the pulse width modulation output — it was a simple choice to make.We hosted the prototype on the Parallax Javelin Stamp Demo Board, and shown in Figure 10. The solderless breadboard area on the right is convenient for prototyping, and the spacing is such that you can plug in the LCD directly across a set of five rows.
