Hello,
My name is Marcel and i am new here,·last februari i have ordered the·Discovery Kit·and the Boe Bot full kit, i have·finished the·WAM but i have a little problem, i have the Board of Education USB version, and when i am loading a program into the Basic Stamp from my Laptop (HP nx9010)·i get very often the message Hardware communication failliure. Check serial or power cable! when i load the program again (without changing anything) a get the message again sometimes 4 times, the next day i get no message? What can i do wrong?

    This occurs often with laptops using serial ports, but maybe it'll help with USB also.

    Go into Device Manager of Windows, open the properties of the COM port that's been assigned, under Port Settings, go to Advanced and turn down the FIFO buffer.

    Worth a shot,
    Martin
