Hello, I have purchased the Parallax kit that came with the BASIC Stamp and have uploaded a program but every time I turn it off and back on the program still there, how do I clear (delete) from the BASIC Stamp to load another program?·· confused.gif

    You don't have to delete anything. Just upload another program, and it will replace the one that was there.

    Hello,

    I also wanted to offer that a good practice to get into is that before connecting new hardware to the BASIC Stamp I/O pins you should always download a program that contains nothing more than an END statement. This ensures that all I/O lines are set to inputs the next time you power up the BASIC Stamp in case you’ve decided to use an I/O line for input that was an output previously. Take care.
