√ Remove the two LED/resistor circuits, and save the parts.
√ Build the servo ports shown on the left side of Figure 2-18.
√ Double-check to make sure the black wire with the white stripe is connected to
Vbp, and the solid black wire should be connected to Vss.
√ Double-check to make sure that all the connections for P13, Vbp, Vss, Vbp, and
P12 all exactly match the wiring diagram.
√ Connect the servo plugs to the male headers as shown on the right of Figure 2-
18.
√ Double-check to make sure the servo wire colors match the legend in the figure.
Vbp stands for Voltage battery pack. It refers to the 6 VDC supplied by the four 1.5 V
batteries. This is brought directly to the breadboard to power the servos for Boe-Bots built
with the HomeWork Board or Board of Education Rev A. Your BASIC Stamp is still powered
by the 9 V battery.
