Hey, I have been working with the BASIC stamp from Parallax. It is a micro controller and can control a few I/O switches. The language that you program in is called PBASIC. It is a simplified version of the BASIC language that the stamp understands and has a few commands that are specifically made for the micro controller. Maybe this is what your friend was talking about. So far I have been using the Parallax BASIC editor to make and load programs to the stamp, but once it has the program is has been EXTREMELY easy to talk to the stamp with Revolution via COM ports and give it parameters that it has been programmed to wait for, such as a position for a stepper motor. It may even be possible to write a program that will compile script and load it to the stamp, I haven't tried though. Just another option that you might want to look at. This process is pretty easy to do (I am 15 and I have handled it so it can't be that terribly difficult) and has a lot of potential for controlling custom devices.
