<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Poking around on the Parallax site, I figured out
the mystery of the pinouts. Taking a look at this picture it becomes
obvious: <A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is of the Basic Stamp II OEM - The 17th Pin is
labeled P12, as numbering starts at 0 and after Vdd, Vss, Vin and RES. So it all
makes sense now! :) </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The really nice part is I found out I can buy the
components to MAKE a basic stamp, rather than getting a complete one. This will
actually make it cheaper, as I don't need some things that are on the actual
stamp - most notably a 5V regulator - because I've already got one in the
circuit for the accellerometer. I've still got to add up all the total costs,
and I'm still seeing what I can get for free as samples (right now I'm getting
at least 3 seperate components for free ;), but I should be able to make this
whole thing for quite cheap! :)</FONT></DIV>
