The documentation alone is worth the price

For Scamp

As a Forth newbie the learning resources on udamonic.com are invaluable. The website and device create an ecosystem of learning and fun.
Getting the Scamp3 up and running is a breeze. Following the sites instructions on inputting code, then witnessing the LEDs blink and react for the first time gives the programmer a immense feeling of joy and control. This input / output kept me, a novice, coming back for more. I know I've only scratched the surface of what this amazing little computer can do and I am eager and excited to learn more.

Great customer service

For Scamp

On the first Scamp3 board that I received, 2 of the onboard LEDs were not working. I contacted the seller, (John) and he got back with me within 2 hours. He offered to send me a new Scamp3, but I wanted to try and fix it and I failed. I contacted John again and he responded within two hours and immediately shipped me out a new board free of charge. The board is well-made with lots of features and I am very happy with it.
The customer service is phenomenal!!! I would highly recommend this board to anyone and I will definitely be a customer in the future!!!!

I like it. Had to get used to flashforth.

For Scamp

The device arrived as promised. The docs were a little confusing but I managed to connect via /dev/ttyACM0 on linux.
I connected an RTC DS3231 to the I2C channel and got it working. What didn’t work was the temp word. Disasembling it let me think it was looking at the wrong I2C address. Have to check it later.
But a good device. No regret buying it.

Hi, the PCT2075 temperature sensor is optional and needs to be user fitted on the Scamp2. The temp word provides support for this sensor, but unless the sensor is fitted it won't do much. Please refer to the Scamp2 documentation on this for more information.

Scamp2 is awesome!

For Scamp

I received my Scamp on the Thursday and I've spent the entire week playing with the scamp and my wife now hates you (because I didn't mow the lawns as promised). :)

I've been having a ball! - I've never used a PIC before - I've only just started to get into the AVR, after upgrading from Arduino, but had trouble getting FlashForth to work on it. The Scamp just makes it so much easier!

Using FlashForth to prod and poke the registers live while I test things out is amazing. I'm already bit banging an LCD display and am starting to get into timers.

I'm learning the PIC as well as forth on the bare metal!! It's fun and the Scamp makes it so much easier.

I just received this recently, and I am very impressed. It is great to have a FORTH microcontroller board that has 'batteries included'. Many of the FORTH boards and firmware can run FORTH but this product has all of the words included to use all of the features that the board has to offer out of the box. I like the form factor as well as it does not force you to use a breadboard, and not having live pins exposed and the ability to mount the board in your application is something that most others do not offer. Having the LEDs driven by an I2C port expander is great since it does not use up the higher speed GPIOs from the microcontroller. Just starting to work with it, but it is by far one of the best all round solutions for experimenting with FORTH that I have seen.
