BASIC Atom

Basic Atom refers to a line of products from [Basic Micro].

Like the Basic Stamp, the Basic Atom line is based upon various microchips pre-programmed with an interpreter, making it easy to change "programs", as they are only "data" being interpreted.

• The product line consists of:
  • Basic Atom - Basic Stamp 2 compatible devices, claiming faster execution
  • Basic Atom Nano, a series of pre-programmed chips for those that want to integrate the functionality into other products without adding other boards
  • Basic Atom Pro, a line of higher capacity devices.
  • Board-level products, such as for robotic control, etc.
  • Accessories such as power supplies.

Basic Atom chips may be added to other projects via the familiar Dual_in-line_package style, or the higher density TQFP.

Of interest is one small Basic Atom Pro implemented as a Single_in-line_package thus taking very little area on a board, at the expense of some height.
