··· I am in a high school digital electronics class where we are currently using the boe bot kits. i now want to start doing my own projects but i dont have too much money.
··· Would it be possible to buy...
··········-a basic stamp module
········· -an appropriate socket for it
········· -a serial cable
········· -a serial port
············· ...and then arrange them and set up to the four programing pins·on a breadboard rather than buying the boe or a carrier board?

thanks

Yes, you can make your own setup. If you're on a budget, you may want to look at the BS2 OEM kit (assuming you know how to solder). From there, you can wire up your own serial cable to connect with. If you don't have a serial port on your computer, though, you'll have to buy a USB to serial converter. Take a look at the documentation for the BOE (available on the Parallax website), and look at the schematic. There isn't really all that much that's complicated there.

I can tell you that it is very easy to·put together the ·BS2 OEM kit

I have done allot of them and·I still use the manual to put them together even now

The most important thing to keep in mind is that the transistors and brown out chip are put in the right place JUST TAKE YOUR TIME with that part of it when you are putting it together check it three time soldier once

I have never had one that did not work yet

I hope this helps
