The Parallax Internet NetBurner Kit (PINK) is an Embedded Web Server which enables your BASIC Stamp®, SX or Propeller Microcontroller to communicate over a network or even the Internet. The PINK Module allows your microcontroller to send e-mail or UDP messages to alert you to events or provide status messages.

Note:
Before connecting the PINK Module you should have a good understanding of computer networks and how to set up your local network. You should also understand firewalls and functionality of any router or switch in your network as well as how the settings may affect network traffic with the PINK. You may need to configure your network not only to set up the PINK, but for it to be seen on the internet as well. Due to the complexity of various computer networks, hardware and software installed, Parallax Tech Support will not be able to troubleshoot network issues. Please see the documentation for additional details and troubleshooting tips.
