* For automatic serial port selection by the Stamp II software, there must also be a connection
from DSR (DB9 pin 6) to RTS (DB9 pin 7). This connection is made on the Stamp II carrier
board. If you are not using the carrier board, then you must make this connection yourself, or
use the command-line option to tell the software which serial port to use.
** During normal operation, the Stamp II takes about 7 mA. In various power-down modes, con-
sumption can be reduced to about 50 µA.
