Stamp programming

["Gamble, David" <dgamble@anglogold.com.au>]

Likewise, I am not a Stamp Expert, but I do have a Stamp and I have some
programming experience, particularly with Tom's favorite QB. I may be able
to help on discrete aspects of the Stamp code. For the past month or so I
have been experimenting with real time clocks, and believe I have finally
mastered the Phillips IC2 two wire serial bus. This lets the Stamp address
numberous compliant devices using only 2 I/O pins. You may recall sometime
ago we discussed the need for a real time clock to accurately measure
exposures, and this is a possible solution.
