Mike, If you aren't already signed up on the basic stamp list, you might want to consider it. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/basicstamps/

I have built a few projects that use Stamps, and have an arc length controller for a plasma torch currently in the works... Got an OEM BS2sx stamp sittin on my desk right now flashin' some multi color LED's for no good purpose... (-:
