3) If using a BASIC Stamp 2, 2e, 2sx or 2p, connect the 9-pin female side
of a serial cable to an available serial port on your computer. Note:
the serial cable should we a "straight-though" cable, not a null-modem
cable. Connect the 9-pin male side of the cable to the DB9 connector
on the development board. See Figure 2.2 for an example.
4) Run the BASIC Stamp editor software. Refer Table 2.1 for software
versions and names. If using the DOS version of the software, try
running it though DOS mode only; running it though Windows may
cause it to malfunction when communicating with the BASIC Stamp.

a) If using the Parallax CD, go to the Software -> BASIC Stamp ->
Windows section (or the DOS section) to locate and run the
software).
b) If using the Windows software, it may prompt you with a list of
serial ports. Follow the prompt to configure the serial port list (if
needed) for proper operation of the editor.

Education being properly connected
