| Qty | Part | Vendor | Part # | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Basic Stamp 2p | Parallax | BS2P24 | |
| 1 | MMA7455 3-Axis Accelerometer | Parallax | 28526 | main sensor |
| 1 | 10K ohm resistor | Radio Shack | for mode control | |
| 1 | 220 ohm resistor | Radio Shack | for mode control | |
| 2 | 4.7K ohm resistor | Radio Shack | for the 24LC512 EEPROM | |
| 1 | 24LC512 EEPROM | Digi-Key | 24LC512-I/P-ND | data storage |
| 1 | DIP switch | Digi-Key | CTS 2062-ND | for mode control |
| 1 | LED Assembly | Radio Shack | 276-0270 | for status purposes |
| 1 | 40 pin header | Parallax | 451-04001 | Just need 4 out of the 40 pins |
Also going to need a Prop Plug from Parallax (part #:32201). This would be used to transfer data between Sparrow12 and a computer that has a USB port.

note#1: Going to need the Prop Plug for data transfers
note#2: below is how the 40 pin header is going to broken off. Breaking off 2 or more pins at a time can be done by hand. Breaking off just 1 pin requires a plier.
| # of pins | use |
|---|---|
| 4 | For the Prop Plug interface (need to remove pin #2) |
| 4 | for the Basic Stamp programming interface |
| 1 | for the + terminal from the 9 volt connector |
| 1 | for the - terminal from the 9 volt connector |
| 1 | for the LED |
| 1 | for the LED |
| 1 | for the toggle switch |
