Could the Basic stamp be programmed as a startup/shutdown controller? And be reliable?
My board does not support the last power state function, so I have a very simple on/off relay system. However, it is possible to get the relay system out of sync, so that the computer boots when the key is turned off, and shuts down when the key is turned back on.
I'm trying to design an on/off controller that would be much more reliable, and difficult to confuse.
Any thoughts?
PS, I don't know how to program in BASIC, but if I can also do a power windows setup too, then I'll learn.

Thanks.
