BASIC Stamp 1 Project Board
#27112 $29.00
****************************************

Dear Parallax Friends,

For students, hobbyists, and professionals who desire the small form and
features of the BASIC Stamp 1, but need a development platform in the
mold of the Parallax BOE and HomeWork boards, the BASIC Stamp 1 Project
Board is a low-cost solution that is sure to fit the bill.

The BS1 Project Board consists of a surface-mounted BASIC Stamp 1 on a 3
1/4" x 2 1/2" (8.3 x 6.4 cm) printed circuit board. The board includes
a 9V battery clip, a mechanically interlocked 2.1 mm power jack, DB-9
connector for programming, and LM 2943 regulator providing 40 mA for
your projects. The BS1 Project Board is similar to the BS2 HomeWork
Board in that it has no servo connectors, and no LM2940 voltage
regulator.

The intended use of the BS1 Project Board is for BASIC Stamp student
homework, science fair projects, and the naturally curious student or
engineer who needs a low-cost development platform for their projects.
Like the BS2 HomeWork Board, the BS1 Project Board includes 220 ohm
resistors inline with all I/O pins to prevent damage from accidental
short-circuits.

Some of the features:
1) Mechanically interlocked power supply to prevent dual connection of
wall-pack and 9-volt battery
2) DB9 connector for BS1-IC programming and serial communication during
run-time
3) P0 - P7 I/O pins, Vin, Vdd and Vss connections brought adjacent to
prototyping area
4) Includes 1 3/8" x 2" (5.1 x 3.5 cm) solderless breadboard
5) Includes set of ten (10) color-coded 22 gauge wires

The product is in stock and ready for shipment. At only $29, it's the
same cost as a BS1 at the quantity one price. Considering that the BS1
Project Board includes the circuitry for programming with a serial
cable, it's very cost effective.

Sincerely,

Erik Wood
