Ok, I am waiting for my first delivery of Atom Nano products and have been trying to read ahead a bit but have a question. My understanding is that with the Nano 8, you would have fewer programming options than with the Nano28 in the way of commands..? I cannot find in the manual where it states which commands are for which chips? I assume that with each increase in capabilities, each chip has more options ie commands,...... unless they all work on all chips and the limitation is just the size of the program? I did find the explanation of commands in the reference manual.

I am coming from a Basic Stamp background (a little, a few years ago) and in their software, you selected the version of Stamp you had. I think that limited your programming options.

Is there a parallel in the Basic Micro line? A chart would be good? I would think it is there but I just have not found it yet so if you could just point me, that would be great.
I found the hardware comparisons that start on page 9 but no software comparisons.... Is there one?

Thanks

Shawn

The only command that doesn't work with the Nano 8 is the hardware serial commands becaus it doesn't have a hardware serial port. You can use all the software commands (99.9% of commands are software only) and you can use the HPWM command. I can't think of any other command that isn't supported by the Nano8 that is supported by the other Nano/Atom processors. You are mainly limited on size of your program and number of variables you can define because it has smaller code flash and ram.
