SETTING UP THE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
To set up the StampWorks lab for experiments, you’ll need the following items:
Installing the BASIC Stamp Module
Start by removing the BASIC Stamp 2 module from its protective foam and carefully
inserting it into the 40-pin DIP socket on the PDB (upper-left, near the DB-9
programming connector). You’ll notice that the BASIC Stamp 2 module and the PDB
socket are marked with semi-circle alignment guides. The BASIC Stamp 2 module
should be inserted into the socket so that the alignment guides match. Ensure that
the BASIC Stamp 2 module is fully left-aligned in the socket as shown in the
illustration below.
Make the Programming Connection
Use a programming cable (either serial or USB, but not both at the same time) to
connect the PDB to your PC. It is best to select a serial (COM) port that is not already
in use. If, however, you’re forced to unplug another device, for example, a PDA or
electronic organizer from your computer, make sure that you also disable its
communication software before attempting to program your BASIC Stamp
microcontroller.
