Programming and Serial Interfacing

I have a BS2 carrier board. I have just realised, it is only really
meant for programming and not serial interfacing with the PC. I
ideally want to use the Sout and Sin pins to communicate with my
program, is there anyway of adapting the board/cable to enable this?

    You don't have to do anything -- you can use SERIN and SEROUT on pin 16
    for serial communications on the programming port. The only caveat is
    on the other side; the Stamp echoes every character sent to it, so your
    other device will need to filter the echo. It's not tough to do, and
    many of use have created PC-to-Stamp projects using the normal
    programming port.

    You can experiment by using the DEBUG terminal in the compiler. You'll
    just have to open it manually and set the baud parameter to what your
    Stamp is using. The latest compiler lets you disable the on-screen echo
    as well.

    You can use Sin and Sout for communication with the PC. To do this you
    specify pin 16 in your SERIN and SEROUT instructions.
