Here is an
example of how to get your hardware connected if you have a Board of
Education and BASIC Stamp 2. |
|
Attach the
adhesive rubber feet to the underside of the board. |
|
Connect the
serial cable to your computer’s COM port. |
|
Plug the BASIC
Stamp 2 into its socket on the baord of Education. Make sure the BASIC Stamp is oriented so
that the black chips on the module match the drawings of the chips inside the
socket. Line the pins up with the
holes in the socket. Press firmly to
insert your BASIC Stamp into the socket. |
|
It should sink
in between an eight and a quarter of an inch.
Then, connect the serial cable and 9 V battery. |
|
Next, we’ll
write a PBASIC program with the BASIC Stamp Editor software and download it
to the BASIC Stamp. |
