 Unbelievably "more expensive" when a BS2p run $80, in a world where
even an expensive Arduino is about half of that (and a TIVA C board is a
quarter). {I'm not pricing RPi or BeagleBone as the latter are full
application/OS boards vs no-OS embedded systems).

 The Parallax provided one, no... But there is
http://bstamp.sourceforge.net/ (which uses a Parallax provided tokenizer
library -- for some reason I'm having trouble getting to the Parallax web
site at this time.)
