Hey Al,
i completed my GPMPU40 board and it is awesome. what i like best about
the board was that it allowed me to put in a USB connector at the top left
of the board. i have recently modified one of my LCD panels and installed a
usb connector on it as well, so now my LCD is Plug and Play with the use
of a standard usb cable. i also took advantage of the clock section of the
board and installed a bi-color red/green LED. Last but certainly not least,
and i think you'll like this one, is the 40 pin low profile ZIF socket
available from jameco. this socket is perfectly designed for your board. i
have included a link so you may see the board. Thanks again for your
wonderful board.
you can see the finished board here www.turbodeuce.com/gpmpu40.html
Regards,
Gary D.

similar, but they require a screwdriver to open them, so I like yours
better.
Glad you like the board.

Well depends. Not exactly the use in the picture, but have a look at
http://www.awce.com/asp3.htm -- You can mount a 28 pin or 40 pin Stamp (or
Javelin, etc.) and you get the programming port, an extra RS232, power, etc.
The picture that was posted is actually the same generic board wired to
accept a Stamp (http://www.awce.com/gpmpu40.htm). He added a nice ZIF socket
to it, but doesn't have the dedicated programming port.

Okay, thanks for the information, I guess what really
caught my attention on it was the USB port, but other
than the Parallax USB adapter (One they sell), I
didn't know there were any interfaces to USB for the
BASIC Stamp. What exactly can you do with the USB
port on that board? (I should've asked that in my
original message, sorry)

has no USB circuitry (unless you put in a USB PIC or something). I think he
just used it as a handy connector, and nothing more.
There are several USB/serial "modules" based on the FTDI chipset that would
fit the board, and then interface to a Stamp one way or another, but I
haven't done anything with that.

Okay, just making sure I'm not missing out on
something new. Sometimes in my skimming of this
group, I miss new stuff because I am focusing on what
I know/recognize. I usually skim over messages
specific to something I am not into, but don't always
read the specifics...This is one busy groups
sometimes!

Yeah, and I will probably never use USB anyway. It
seems like the other day while working on a BS2
project I thought of something I wouldn't mind
connecting USB to the stamp for, but now I can't
remember for the life of me, what it was. Again Al,
thanks for the information.
