You can connect directly to a serial port on your computer, or use a USB to Serial Adapter to connect to a USB port. </span></span>

<li value="3"><span class="MCExpanding"><a href="javascript:void(0);" class="MCExpandingHead_0" onclick="FMCExpand( this ); return false;">Voltage regulator<img style="border: none;margin-left: 5px;" src="../SkinSupport/ExpandingClosed.gif" MadCap:altsrc="../SkinSupport/ExpandingOpen.gif" onload="if ( typeof( FMCPreloadImage ) == 'function' ) { FMCPreloadImage( '../SkinSupport/ExpandingOpen.gif' ); }" class="MCExpandingIcon" /></a><span class="MCExpandingBody" style="display: none;">: Supplies regulated 5 V, up to 500 milliamps with a 9 V battery. This supplies the BASIC Stamp and sockets labeled Vdd for circuits you will build on the breadboard area.</span></span>
|

</li>
|

<li value="4"><span class="MCExpanding"><a href="javascript:void(0);" class="MCExpandingHead_0" onclick="FMCExpand( this ); return false;">Power header (X3)<img style="border: none;margin-left: 5px;" src="../SkinSupport/ExpandingClosed.gif" MadCap:altsrc="../SkinSupport/ExpandingOpen.gif" onload="if ( typeof( FMCPreloadImage ) == 'function' ) { FMCPreloadImage( '../SkinSupport/ExpandingOpen.gif' ); }" class="MCExpandingIcon" /></a><span class="MCExpandingBody" style="display: none;">: The sockets labeled (+5)Vdd connect to +5 VDC, (+)Vin connects directly to the power supplied to the board by the battery clip (+9 VDC typical), and (-)Vss connects to 0 V (ground).</span></span>

Each strip connects a 5-socket group, with two groups to each row, separated by a center trench. Wires or legs of components plugged into the same 5-socket group will be electrically connected. Components with many legs (such as pushbuttons or ICs), are placed in the middle of the board so that half of the legs are on the left side and half are on the right side of the trench. <i>Note: Always disconnect power before building or modifying circuits!</i></span></span>

<li value="6"><span class="MCExpanding"><a href="javascript:void(0);" class="MCExpandingHead_0" onclick="FMCExpand( this ); return false;">I/O Pin Access Header (X4)<img style="border: none;margin-left: 5px;" src="../SkinSupport/ExpandingClosed.gif" MadCap:altsrc="../SkinSupport/ExpandingOpen.gif" onload="if ( typeof( FMCPreloadImage ) == 'function' ) { FMCPreloadImage( '../SkinSupport/ExpandingOpen.gif' ); }" class="MCExpandingIcon" /></a><span class="MCExpandingBody" style="display: none;">:The BASIC Stamp module's 16 I/O pins, labeled 0 to 15, are connected to this header, so you can conveniently connect to your breadboard circuits. On this board, there are 220-ohm resistors placed between the header and the BASIC Stamp I/O pins to help prevent damage in case of a wiring mistake.</span></span>

<li value="7"><span class="MCExpanding"><a href="javascript:void(0);" class="MCExpandingHead_0" onclick="FMCExpand( this ); return false;">Reset Button<img style="border: none;margin-left: 5px;" src="../SkinSupport/ExpandingClosed.gif" MadCap:altsrc="../SkinSupport/ExpandingOpen.gif" onload="if ( typeof( FMCPreloadImage ) == 'function' ) { FMCPreloadImage( '../SkinSupport/ExpandingOpen.gif' ); }" class="MCExpandingIcon" /></a><span class="MCExpandingBody" style="display: none;">: The reset button can be used to restart your BASIC Stamp without having to cycle the power. This saves wear-and-tear on the battery clip for simple program restarts. Some advanced programming techniques use the reset button and the BASIC Stamp EEPROM as a way to toggle between different program functions.</span></span>

<li value="8"><span class="MCExpanding"><a href="javascript:void(0);" class="MCExpandingHead_0" onclick="FMCExpand( this ); return false;">Running Indicator LED<img style="border: none;margin-left: 5px;" src="../SkinSupport/ExpandingClosed.gif" MadCap:altsrc="../SkinSupport/ExpandingOpen.gif" onload="if ( typeof( FMCPreloadImage ) == 'function' ) { FMCPreloadImage( '../SkinSupport/ExpandingOpen.gif' ); }" class="MCExpandingIcon" /></a><span class="MCExpandingBody" style="display: none;">: This LED will light up when a BASIC Stamp program is running. It is not a power indicator LED. </span></span>

It connects the BASIC Stamp to the programming connector, power, the running indicator LED, reset button, and I/O pin header.</span></span>.</li>
