Cannot detect Basic Stamp microcontroller

David Tan

For u information,now i using Vista for compiling the coding..

But after following the user guide,·my parallax boe-bot still cannot detect any ·BS2...

Is Os contribute to this problem...

Cause in Vista, i can't find FIFO (Which ask me to uncheck in user manual)..

Are you using a USB connection?· If so, did you download the drivers for the USB to serial adapter or USB Board of Education?

Today I get the dreaded "No BASIC Stamp Found" Message. I put it fresh batteries,·disconnected both the servos and the breadboard components·I had connected.·The serial cable is connected, and the PORT STATUS says this
Device type [noparse]:([/noparse]nothing here)
Version (blank)
Loopback: Yes
Echo: Yes

Really hoping can get the Information for all the Specialist...

THANKS

I have the same problem trying to program my stamps with my laptop. It is running Windows Vista. I have the latest FTDI drivers but it still doesn't work. My computer with Windows 7 has no problems connecting to the stamp through the same USB to serial adapter.

Some people have had problems with Windows Vista. You have to be careful when you install the FTDI drivers. Make sure you have drivers for Vista. Make sure the USB to serial adapter is not plugged in when you install the driver. Connect the adapter after installation is done and Windows should find the adapter.
