System Requirements
To program the BASIC Stamp II, you’ll need the following computer
system:
• IBM PC or compatible computer
• 3.5-inch disk drive
• Serial port
• 128K of RAM
• MS-DOS 2.0 or greater
If you have the BASIC Stamp II carrier board, you can use a 9-volt
battery as a convenient means to power the BASIC Stamp. You can
also use a 5-15 (5-40 volts on BS2-IC rev. d) volt power supply, but you
should be careful to connect the supply to the appropriate part of the
BASIC Stamp. A 5-volt supply should be connected directly to the +5V
pin, but a higher voltage should be connected to the PWR pin.
Connecting a high voltage supply (greater than 6 volts) to the 5-volt
pin can permanently damage the BASIC Stamp.
