colorPal 28380

kazuya86

I use the colorpal_flicker.bs2 to display the colorpal flicker. But I close the basic stamp, the colorpal still flicker,and I can't use the colorpal_sense.bs2, I excute the TCS3200_ColorPal_match, it show unable to locate color sensor output on any serial port. Anyone can help me how to stop the colorPal flicker and i can excute the TCS_3200_ColorPal_match.exe

The flicker program stores itself in the ColorPAL's EEPROM so that it can be used without a BASIC Stamp attached. So you will need to get rid of it first. This is done by erasing it from the ColorPAL's EEPROM by replacing it with a blank program, thus:

SEROUT sio, baud, ["= #00"]

it still flicker, i excute the program with the code
SEROUT sio, baud, ["= #00"]
PAUSE 1000
SEROUT sio, baud, ["!"]
DO:LOOP
Can you give me more information to solve

See if this works:

Make sure ColorPal in connected to PIN 15

Thank you for providing the requested information.
I find the problem, I set the pause on Reset equal to 1000
and the sensor stop to flicker.
