What pins do you connect power to on bs2.

    If you are using the on-BS2 regulator, you connect plus 6 to 12 volts DC to the Vin pin, and the ground line to Vss.

    If you have an external regulator, you connect plus 5 volts DC to the Vdd pin, and the ground line to Vss.

    Do NOT connect +6 volts to the Vdd pin, you'll burn out the BS2.

    You CAN connect +5 to the Vin pin. It won't work, but it won't damage anything.
