Memory Stick Logger 27937 and Bs2 pin connection without using Board of Education

Page 3 of the logger documentation (MemoryStickDataloggerV1.1.pdf) refers to pin connections when not using the Board of Education. I am confused by the the description of the pins for the UART Mode (assuming that is what I should use??).

My questions are:
1. What BS2 pin do I use when it says "connects to MCU CTS"?
2. What BS2 pin do I use when it says "connects to MCU RTS"?
3. Are there other components involved?

The other pins seem straight forward.
Thanks,
Ocean Bill

    Hello,

    The BASIC Stamp can, when communicating serially, use hardware flow control by specifying optional flow control pins. These pins are described in the SERIN/SEROUT commands in the BASIC Stamp Syntax and Reference Manual. So instead of 2 pins you would be using 4 pins for bi-directional serial communication. I hope this helps.
