Parallax IDE

Write, compile, and download code to your Parallax Boe-Bot Robot or custom BASIC Stamp microcontroller-based electronic creations.
Parallax IDE is a revolutionary Chrome extension designed to streamline the programming of Parallax BASIC Stamp Microcontrollers. It offers seamless PBASIC source code editing, compilation, and downloading at the touch of your fingertips - without the requirement of an Internet connection. This extension caters to a range of BASIC Stamp models such as BS2, BS2e, BS2sx, BS2p24/40, and BS2pe, and is adaptable across different platforms like Chromebook, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Moreover, it exercises strict privacy by restricting all activities to the user's local system and Google Drive (only for code storage).

The ChromeOS Parallax IDE editor works and looks good, but I'm unable to identify or download a program to the BS2pe Stamp. The IDE finds the USB serial port (/dev/ttyUSB0) ok. The same BS2pe module and USB to serial adapter works fine under the Windows Parallax Basic Stamp IDE, but I'd much prefer to use the ChromeOS version. Perhaps there is a Chromebook or latest ChromeOS version issue? Has anyone got the Parallax IDE working or had difficulties under recent ChromeOS versions? Many thanks Hardware: Chromebook Acer Spin 13 Core i7 ChromeOS Version 119.0.6045.192 (Official Build) (64-bit) Basic Stamp BS2pe and USB to serial adapter

I needed an IDE to compile C++ code on my school computer cause I wanted to be able to get some work done at school, however I don't know what programing language(s) this supports. Can someone please help? Thanks.
