Programming the PARTS Mini-Sumo Robot

The PARTS Mini-Sumo Robot is programmable in a version of BASIC called PBASIC. PBASIC is not a full featured BASIC, but it is flexible and easy to use. You will need to review the BASIC STAMP's documentation from Parallax to learn all the commands and functions of PBASIC.

Note: The STAMP.EXE editor may not work well under Window's 95/NT. Exit Windows and run the editor from the DOS prompt. There are 8 input/output pins connected to the BASIC STAMP 1. Each of the 8 pins can be designated as an input or an output.

This robot uses all 8 input / output pins:

Pin 0 - PIEZO Speaker = output
Pin 1 - LED1 = output
Pin 2 - LED2 = output
Pin 3 - SR Right Servo Connector (- = black wire) = output
Pin 4 - SL Left Servo Connector (- = black wire) = output
Pin 5 - IODR Right IR. Object Detector (+ = red wire) = input
Pin 6 - IODL Left IR. Object Detector (+ = red wire) = input
Pin 7 - CdS resistor detects light level = input
