I recently got an accelerometer.active-robots.co.uk/buffered-3d-accelerometer-p-1399.html
and i need some help connecting it to my basic stamp board.
my board looks like this one.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you can’t use that sensor with a stamp. It’s output is analog voltage. The stamp can’t read analog voltages. The Atom or Atom Pro can read analog voltages though.
You could use the onboard breadboard to interface the stamp with an AD converter: geocities.com/SiliconValley/ … ax187.html

I have ssc-32 too so i think it does!??
maybe if i connect the accelerometer to the ssc32??
I don’t know the details of connecting an analog device to the SSC-32 other than the fact that the ports labeled A, B, C, and D facilitate such a thing. I know there is a lot of information here in the forum about it though so just do a search. Also the SSC-32 documentation has a section entitled “Read Analog Inputs” that will be useful when you are writing the software for your microcontroller that will be directing the SSC-32.
When looking for information specific to the SSC-32, I would look first at the SSC-32 manual, then search the forums if necessary.

The following image 3rd row, 3rd column, shows the basics.
Are there 50k pull-up resistors built in? or did you mean 50 Ohm resistors. Weak to me means 50 ohms not 50k.

is it a typo?
o.O
a “weak” pull-up is one that doesn’t source much current at all.
50Kohm on 5V results in something less than 0.1mA.
50ohm on 5V results in 100mA…
