If you’ve measured and cut carefully, this “U” shaped wire will plug comfortably into
the ground rail at sockets 29 and 32. This will create a single ground rail. Repeat
this process with black wire for the bottom-most rail. Then, connect the two rails
together using the same process at column 60 (right-most sockets on each rail).
With the red wire, connect the top and bottom inside rail halves together. These rails
will carry +5 volts, or Vdd. Connect the Vdd rails together at column 59.
Now take a 1½-inch (4 cm) section of black wire and a 1½-inch (4 cm) section of
red wire and strip ¼-inch (6 mm) insulation from the ends of both. Bend each wire
into a rounded “U” shape. These wires are not designed to lie flat like the other
connections, making them easy to remove from the StampWorks lab board if
necessary.
Carefully plug one end of the red wire into any of the terminal sockets of the VDD
block (near pin 1 of the BASIC Stamp socket) and the other end into the Vdd (+5)
rail at column 5. Then, plug one end of the black wire into any of the sockets of the

last two connections. If the Vdd and Vss rails get connected together damage may
occur when power is applied to the PDB. When completed, the PDB breadboard will
look like this:
