There comes a time in every Basic Stamp programmer's life when you realize that you need something more....and it ISN'T a different chip or another language! C++ and assembler are wonderful when you require the performance that only they can offer... But most projects don't require it! What is needed is a better developer environment in which to write code. idea is a professional Integrated Development Environment for Basic Stamp programmers.

idea replaces the existing Basic Stamp PBasic IDE, offering all the features familiar to you from the existing ide but adds much, much more. You use the same familiar PBasic language you already know but in a more powerful environment with added commands to make real projects more manageable. Simplicity and capability without complexity.
