I just installed all of the boebot stuff on my computer.· I have used the same robot previously, and it worked correctly.· Now, on my computer, it will not download a program to the robot.· The download progress says that there is a loopback and echo for it, but no basic stamp found. Please help me.

    check your connections and your power. make sure the boe is turned on and the stamp is inserted correctly and fully.

    If it's seeing loopback and echo, that implies that you've got the BOE properly connected. What you're describing is a CLASSIC "BOE not powered properly" scenario.

    So, you may have "Checked all that stuff", but it STILL sounds like there's a problem there. How did you check it? With a volt-meter? Did you REMOVE and RE-INSERT the BS2 chip?

    Did you perhaps check a 9-volt battery with a volt meter while it's not connected to anything? You need to check it under load -- while it's connected and powering stuff.
