BASIC Stamp Activity Board
(Rev. C)
The BASIC Stamp Activity Board (sometimes called BSAC) is designed to
accommodate the BS1-IC, BS2-IC, BS2e-IC, BS2sx-IC and BS2p24-IC
modules. This board provides a number of prewired components for
quick prototyping of common, simple circuits. Figure 1.18 shows the
board with the BS1-IC properly inserted into the socket (note that the X8
jumper must be in the "1" position). Figure 1.19 show the board with the
BS2-IC properly inserted into the socket (note that the X8 jumper must be
in the "2" position). This board features a, DB9 programming connector,
reset button, barrel connector for power, power LED, 4 push-buttons, 4
LEDs, a piezo speaker a 10K potentiometer, an RJ-11 jack (for interfacing
to an X10 powerline interface), an analog output pin and two 8-pin sockets
for EEPROM and ADC chips. One female 0.1” socket allows for access to
all the module’s pins plus Vdd, Vin and Vss. Vdd is +5 volts and Vin is 6
– 9 volts (depending on your power supply). Also note: the barrel jack is
designed for a center positive, 2.1 mm (pin) x 5.5 mm (barrel) plug.
The BASIC Stamp Activity Board is excellent for projects requiring
buttons, LEDs, a speaker, etc. All the components are prewired and have
labels next to them to indicate the I/O pin they are connected to. You can

properly inserted). Note, the X8
jumper should be in the "1" position.
