BASIC Stamp II
System Requirements
To program Stamp IIs, you’ll need the following computer system:
• IBM PC or compatible computer
• 3.5-inch disk drive
• Serial port
• 128K of RAM
• MS-DOS 2.0 or greater
To power the Stamps, you can use a 9-volt battery (this is the most
convenient method). You can also use a 5-15 volt power supply, but
you should be careful to connect the supply to the appropriate part of
the Stamp. A 5-volt supply should be connected directly to the Stamp’s
+5V pin (also called VDD), but a higher voltage should be connected
to the Stamp’s PWR pin (also called VIN).
Connecting a high voltage supply (greater than 6 volts) to the 5-volt
pin can permanently damage the Stamp.
