OK so my situation is I have a Basic Stamp 2 module but no Parallax homework board. I am wondering how do I connect my stamp to my computer serial cable so that I can program my module ?
If you have an extra serial cable that you can damage, you can solder up your own small row connector.
The serial cable pins 2,3,4,5 go to the Stamp 1,2,3,4 (1+2 are TX+RX, 3 is Reset (for programming), and 4 is Ground)
The rest of the pins are not used for programming.
Is your stamp in a breadboard?
