Problem detecting the basic stamp

killjoy9581

I have the boe-bot REV-C. I have all the drivers installed and the software for it. When I try to send the code to it it says that is it scanning and it says yes for the loopback and echo on com3 but then I get an error saying "NO Basic Stamp found". I got it to work once. This is the code that I am trying to send it. It is simple. Something just to get it to work.

' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}
' {$PORT COM3}


Main:
PULSOUT 13, 600
PULSOUT 12, 800
PAUSE 3
GOTO Main

Try a fresh set of batteries?

Hello,

Is this a laptop or desktop computer? Is the BOE a USB version or are you using a USB to Serial Adapter?

Keep buying replacement parts and sooner or later you will get it RIGHT!

yeah. what is say "scanning" the BOE lights come on a blue one and a red. they both begin to flash. Could the problem be that I have not used it in over 6 months.


EDIT: I bought new battery's and nothing. It is still giving me the same problem.
