It's possible that your program prints out the "Hello" message before you activate the terminal screen. Try loading your program into EEPROM, go to the terminal screen, then press the reset button on the ActivityBoardWX to restart the program.

I'd like you to try something for me real quick...can you please install the Propeller Tool (assuming you're running Windows O/S) from the following link and run the following code in it? You can paste it into the window and press F10 to download to RAM and run. Let me know if the P26 LED blinks.

My test was designed to determine if there was a failure to the external clock circuitry. The first program I had you run doesn't use the external clock circuitry (or the PLL). However the last one did. SimpleIDE enables it by default as well. However since it worked before it sounds like something happened to the board that damaged either the crystal or the internal PLL of the chip.

Can i use Propeller Toolkit to program my ActivityBot?
If you're referring to the Propeller Tool software, yes, it can be used to download SPIN/PASM programs onto the Propeller chip on the Activity Board. However you cannot use it to complete the Activity Bot tutorials on the Learn website as these are written in C and require SimpleIDE. The choice of software just depends on the language you're using to program the Propeller.

Welcome to the forums. You'll need to provide more information before we can offer assistance.
To start:
The more details you offer about your setup and fixes you may have already tried, the more likely someone will have an answer for you.
