The power connection is pre-set to Vdd (+5 V) but you can set it to Vin (the board's supply voltage) by moving the shorting block on the jumper between the headers. Each 3-pin row is labeled with an I/O pin number above it. The 12, 13, 14, and 15 signal lines for the servo headers are also accessible as P12, P13, P14, and P15 I/O pin sockets on the X1 and X2 headers. This can be useful for building a servo signal indicator light on the breadboard as you may do in some Stamps in Class activities. For independent projects, keep these shared connections in mind, especially to avoid inadvertently connecting circuits with conflicting functions to the same I/O pin.</span></span>

<li value="7"><span class="MCExpanding"><a href="javascript:void(0);" class="MCExpandingHead_0" onclick="FMCExpand( this ); return false;">Breadboard<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 breadboard has metal clips that run underneath the white plastic board in a horizontal fashion. 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="8"><span class="MCExpanding"><a href="javascript:void(0);" class="MCExpandingHead_0" onclick="FMCExpand( this ); return false;">I/O Pin Access Header (X2)<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. Its location adjacent to the breadboard makes it convenient for connecting circuits to I/O pins. Keep in mind that I/O pin access is also brought to the X4, X5, and X1 headers, so be careful not to build conflicting breadboard circuits if you are using these other headers as well.</span></span>

<li value="9"><span class="MCExpanding"><a href="javascript:void(0);" class="MCExpandingHead_0" onclick="FMCExpand( this ); return false;">AppMod header (X1)<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 AppMod header provides power, I/O pins, Vdd, Vin, and Vss access for any devices that are designed to use this 2x10 socket. Examples include the LCD Terminal AppMod (#29121), CMUcam (#30051), Easy Bluetooth Module (#30085), and Say It voice recognition module (#30080).</span></span>

This saves wear-and-tear on the power switch for simple program restarts. Some advanced programming techniques use the reset button and the BASIC Stamp EEPROM program and data storage as a way to toggle between different program functions.</span></span>

Always place the switch in this position when adding or changing components on the breadboard. The middle position (1) provides Vin (unregulated battery or power supply voltage) to the regulator, the BASIC Stamp socket, and to the connectors marked “Vin.” This switch position also makes Vdd (5 volts) available to Vdd sockets on the breadboard and AppMod connectors. The rightmost position (2) also provides power to the servo connectors X4 and X5. Especially if your program causes a robot with servos connected to X4/X5 to start moving immediately, you can keep the 3-position switch in position (1) while loading the program, then switch to position (2) when you are ready for the robot to start moving.</span></span>
