Hmm, just like I think before..how about the PdA? What's the minum
memory to run this? I've seen it implemented in iPod.
According to http://gige.xdv.org/pda/ you need to be able to run linux
on the device. Something like the ARM processor is a much more powerful
processor than the 8-bit microcontrollers used in the Stamp and Arduino.
I'd guess you probably need at least 128MB of RAM or flash to run linux,
which is a thousand times more than an Arduino's 128kB of flash. The
Stamp only has 3kB for its program.

Hi there everybody
I just founded out that I have a BASIC Stamp board lying in my
house, and I start to think about starting a project that
involve this board. But the problem is can Pd actually be
embedded in a BASIC Stamp? Or if not, can it be embedded in an
ARduino board? I've noticed that there's PdA (Pure Data
Anywhere). Can this be used for my project?
Both the Stamp and the Arduino have insufficient program memory to
run Pd, even with no gui. They are best suited for I/O with a serial
connection to Pd via [comport].
Also the Stamp can't wait for serial input while doing some other
task, so it works better as an input device.
The Stamp is much slower than the Arduino since it must interpret
Basic tokens at runtime while the Arduino directly executes the
machine code resulting from compiling a higher level language.
So if your project involves something like reading sensors or
activating motors or lights, they are both good for that, whether or
not you have some higher level of control or display implemented on
a desktop/laptop.
