Moving from the Development board to a project box.

I have my BASIC Stamp programmed and complete. However, I need to move it to a small self contained box.
·
Can someone help with the pin-outs of the BS2-IC and a diagram for a power supply from a 9vdc battery?

Thanks!

    Hello,

    ·· The serial connections are documented in the BASIC Stamp Manual.· What other connections do you need help with?· The power supply connections should be straight forward but I don't know your skill level.· Vss is ground.· Use Vin if your power supply is from 5.5V to 12V, or Vdd if you're using a regulated 5V supply.· The Super Carrier Board is probably one of the easiest ways to make your project more permanent.

    Thanks for the quick reply. The Super Carrier Board is backordered.

    Also, I would like to get a diagram for a good regulated 5V power supply with a 9V battery. Do you know where I can get this diagram?

    These are available in the schematics which are located at the bottom of the product page I posted.

    So, I don't need a 5V power supply?

    You could use a 9V supply on Vin.· I'm not sure what you're asking.· If you need 5V for other things then yes, you will need a regulator and such.· The schematics for our boards show how these are connected and which part number to use.

    I thought I had to have a 5V supply for the Stamp board. Thanks for the help Chris!!

    You either need a 5V supply or you need a 5.5V to 12V supply.· It would really help to know what all is connected to your project to know what you need.

    Mouser has them in stock:

    The BS2 has a small voltage regulator on-board which is why you can use 5.5V to 12V on Vin. But if you are driving any other 5V components, you'll need a regulated 5V power supply.

    I'm just getting started with the Basic Stamp myself. I picked up a copy of The Microcontroller Application cookbook by Matt Gilliland. It has a section on power requirements and a schematic for making a 5V regulated supply.
