Spin Stamp Microcontroller (SS1-IC)
The Spin Stamp is a 24-pin module similar in form and size to the BASIC Stamp 2 family of 24-pin
modules. The purpose of this microcontroller is to introduce the Propeller processor to the engineer who
wants the features of the Propeller chip and ease of placement in an existing BASIC Stamp module
project. The Spin Stamp module is not intended to be a direct drop-in replacement for any
BASIC Stamp module and there are some important points to consider before purchasing the
Spin Stamp.

the 5V VDD pin. The Propeller processor gets its 3.3 V through a regulator located on the back
side of the module.
Propeller P8X32A-M44, a multi-processing chip with eight 32-bit processors (cogs) and shared
memory with 32KB of RAM and 32 KB of ROM holding a font, math tables, and Spin interpreter
On-board 32 KB EEPROM, 3.3 V regulator, and 10 MHz crystal oscillator
Access to 16 Propeller chip I/O pins; each cog can access any I/O pin
Programming interface pads provided for the PropClip (#32200, not included)
24-pin DIP package fits boards designed for Basic Stamp modules where the I/O pins are not
assigned to a specific purpose: Board of Education (#28150), BASIC Stamp 2 Carrier Board
(#27120) Professional Development Board (#28138)
The Spin Stamp can be programmed in Propeller Assembly or Spin, a high-level language. (The
Spin Stamp cannot be programmed in PBASIC.)
The Propeller Tool IDE software, Propeller datasheet, and programming manual may be
downloaded free from the Parallax web site: http://www.parallax.com
A PropClip (Not included, Parallax Stock #32200) is required to program the Spin Stamp. It is
plugged into the four-hole connector on the bottom edge of the Spin Stamp with the badge
facing up.
Existing code written for other Propeller development platforms must have the clock parameters
changed to _xinfreq = 10_000_000 and _clkmode = xtal1 + pll8x to make it operate on a Spin
Stamp.
The Spin Stamp module’s I/O voltage is 3.3V compared with the BASIC Stamp module’s 5V I/O.
Applying 5V directly to a Spin Stamp I/O pin will damage the Spin Stamp. Existing
projects may require adjustments in software and circuitry to prevent damage to the Spin Stamp.

Any input pins that are subject to 5V must have, at least, a 1 kΩ or larger resistor that is
series-connected.
The 5V VDD output can be used to drive other circuits but care must be taken not to
exceed the 400 mA current limit of the regulator. Some of this current drawn is dedicated
to the Propeller processor and its outputs.
