The original BASIC Stamp 1 (BS1) and its big brothers, the BASIC Stamp 2 family, have sold millions of units all over the world, and into every application and industry one can imagine. The BASIC Stamp 1 has been used for years in award-winning Science Fair projects, in industry, in hobbyist and professional robotics, in television and motion picture props and special effects the BS1 has a long and illustrious track record you re in very good company when you choose it. The BS1 Project Board is a low-cost reintroduction of the original BASIC Stamp in a HomeWork Board type platform that has become a standard for students, hobbyists, and even professional engineers. The board includes everything you need to get started with microcontroller applications at minimal expense just add your external circuits, code, and imagination. Features BASIC Stamp 1 microcontroller built right into the board I/O pin protection resistors (220 ) makes the BS1 Project Boardstudent saf Wall-pack (2.1 mm center-positive plug) or 9-volt battery power supply connections (mechanically interlocked to prevent dual connection) Voltage regulator delivers up to 40 mA of power for circuits DB9 connector for Stamp-IC programming and DEBUG communication during run-time (includes serial adapter circutit and requires Windows BASIC Stamp Editor, V2.1 or higher) 3 1 / x 2 solderless breadboard for external components 8 PCB prototyping area configured for several convenient options Mounting holes for permanent installation into your projects Packing List Verify that your BS1 Project Board kit is complete in accordance with the list below: BS1 Project Board 555-27112 (includes solderless breadboard) Solderless Breadboard 700-00012 Bag of (10) Jumper Wires 800-00016 Documentation Several BASIC Stamp 1 demonstration programs are installed with the Windows BASIC Stamp Editor Additional demonstration and application files may be downloaded from Parallax. Parallax, Inc. BS1 Project Board ( 27112) 10/2004 1 Select Project Board Configuration The BS1 Project Board may be setup for one of two configurations: 1. Experimenting by assembling circuits on the solderless breadboard. 2. Permanent project by soldering components or accessories to the PCB To use the solderless breadboard, remove the paper backing and attach it to the PCB as shown below. For permanent projects, you may leave off the breadboard and solder components directly to the PCB. Parallax offers a range of accessory component kits for the BS1 Project Board.
