I am planning to run a BS2 without a carrier board - after programming. does anyone know a quick link to a setup for this?

    anyway, I'm looking at closer and realize everything is on the chip, so it probably only needs +5 and gnd..

    You should look at the schematics and other documentation for the existing carrier boards like the Super Carrier Board and the Board of Education. This is all available from Parallax. On their main webpage, go to "Downloads", then to "Basic Stamp Documentation".

    A carrier board usually provides:
    1) A programming connection
    2) Possibly a voltage regulator since the one on the BS2 is limited in capacity
    3) Physical and electrical mounting and connections
    4) Possibly a reset pushbutton

    You don't need #1 for your project and you may or may not need #2. Use an existing carrier board as a model for the rest.

    I am using a BS2 without carrier board - I have prototype breadboard in AutoCAD - can you view AutoCAD files?

    The setup I am using works great, from RF to RFID functions ...

    Sorry for stealing someone else's topic but I have a related question...

    If what Mike said is true, can you use one board (BOE for example) to control several BS2s? In my case.. 3?

    Excluding programming of course.
