    If the price is your major concern I suggest to buy just the stamp
    from PARALLAX and to build an experimentation board on your own.
    This is simple and you can use salvaged parts from used equipment.
    You need a computer however - does not need to be a powerful machine.
    The software (stamp basic compiler/editor), handbook and schematics
    can be downloaded for free from the PARALLAX web site.
    You may want to download the stamp manual first to get an idea what
    is possible and how it works.

    There are inexpensive ways to get started.

    The main things are to get the program the manual and also a chip.

    If you are familair with electronics and can make your own circuit
    boards ( or have a friend who can) you can buy just the pre-
    programmed PIC from Parallax and do the rest yourself. It is less
    expensive and will get you started.

    It is hard for many of us here in the US to realize that a BS2 may be
    the income for a week for someone in other parts of the world.

    What do you mean with "not good circuit" and "good circuit"?

    BTW: Vin is for unregulated voltage power input (to the
    stamps internal controller). It is used for battery backup
    for example. This internal regulator does not provide
    much power for external components however. But it comes
    very handy if you just want to hookup a battery to the
    stamp.
