All you need to do is connect two wires from the BOE to the SSC-32. A signal wire from the I/O pin and a ground. There are several examples in tutorials and even in the manual for the SSC-32. Please be more specific in your problem and I will try to help.

I was wondering if I could just plug the two DB9 ports together.

Thanks for your support and FAST reply

You could do this if you use a gender changing cable that cross connects pins 2 and 3.

It really is simpler to run the two or three wire TTL level serial connection from your robot to the SSC-32. Use two wires for sending commands only or three wires for send and receive.

Yes, but I don’t think it’s an easy feat to porgram a basic stamp to send data to the db9 serial port as it is used for programming. I dunno if this is a problem or not.

It is very simple, you just use SEROUT and change the pin to 16 or something, check the manual.
