Here's a good way to make connections to your BASIC Stamp Homework Board or Board of Education.

This header board piggybacks onto the BASIC Stamp board and gives you solderable access to the 16 I/O pins (P0-P15) as well as +5V (Vdd), Ground (Vss), and 9V (Vin).

No modification of the BASIC Stamp board is required.

Multple piggyback boards can be made which will let you quickly change circuits.

Components can be mounted on the board and wires to any external sensors or transducers can be soldered to this board and bundled together to make a quickly connectable/disconnectable wiring harness.

Parts needed:
Radio Shack 276-150 breadboard or similar (See catalog #12348 PB at www.MPJA.com)
Single row header pins on 0.1" centers

shorting Vin to Vdd or Vss !
