Development Boards
We provide a number of development boards to make using the BASIC
Stamps more convenient. Below is a short description of the boards and
their intended use. Please refer to the development board’s
documentation (if any) for more details.
BASIC Stamp 1 Carrier Board (Rev. E)
The BASIC Stamp 1 Carrier Board (also called the BS1 Carrier Board) is
designed to accommodate the BS1-IC module. The BASIC Stamp 1 Carrier
Board provides nearly the same form factor and prototyping space as with
the BASIC Stamp 1 Rev. D, but with the added feature of the reset button.
Figure 1.12 shows the BASIC Stamp 1 Carrier Board with the BS1-IC
properly inserted into the socket. This board features a 3-pin
programming header and 9-volt battery clips to connect a power source.
A male, 14-pin 0.1” header (to the left of the through-hole array) allows
access to all the BS1’s pins. The first two columns of solder pads (closest to
the header) are connected to the respective header pin. All other solder
pads are isolated from each other. The entire through-hole array is
provided for permanent or semi-permanent circuit design.
