It might sound old school, But I like to use a DIODE and a FUSE on the power PINs (POWER JACK). In the event I do something stupid, I just grab another fuse!. The DIODE is placed to short the circuit if the polarity is backwards. 

I guess that I can brag a little and say that I have never burnt-out an I/O pin on any $STAMP. But I have lost the PULSE GENERATOR twice on My Pro.Dev.Board with nothing hooked up to it?

I feel it was power supply related tough, because the first time I was using servos and the second steppers?
