Seems like there is a lot of interest lately in using microcontrollers such as the BASIC Stamp and the new Arduino products. To my surprise, even a long retired electrical engineer friend knew about Arduino when I asked him. I get email from users of these products asking if they can use Liberty BASIC to program them. The answer is no, and yes.
These devices come with their own programming tools. Liberty BASIC is a Windows only (and soon also Mac and Linux) language, so it cannot be used to program microcontrollers. However I've been told that they have found a use for Liberty BASIC with microcontrollers. Some people have created a GUI control panel (including running graphics for example) for their microcontroller projects using Liberty BASIC because Liberty BASIC can be used to monitor devices using serial, parallel and network ports.
