Scribbler problem/question

I just recently received my Scribbler Robot.· Since then, I've connected it to my computer through the IPRE Fluke Add-On.· I've updated fluke, scribbler and myro.· I was going to show it off to a co-worker this morning, but when I turn it on, it makes a beep and only the center LED turns on.· What is it doing?· How do I get it back to how it was when I first got it?

Edit:· I forgot to add that not only is the center LED the one that goes on, but it blinks too.

thanks,

    mzracer360,

    Have you loaded any of the original Scribbler software onto your computer? If so, on the GUI Scribbler Program Maker, you can reload the demo software (the software that came on your Scribbler. The button looks like a Scribbler with a halo over it.

    You can also go to the Scribbler download section (on the Parallax website in the Scribbler section) and get the original program and download it to the BASIC Stamp Editor and then load it back on to your Scribbler. If any of this unclear. Just send me a private message.

    I hope to get a IPRE Fluke Card tomorrow morning. I will play with it and then maybe I can help you with that.

    Merry Christmas and have fun. You will learn more from foul-ups that when things work right away!

    I never could get it fixed when connected to my laptop through bluetooth from the Fluke Add-On. cry.gif I finally connected to my PC with the Serial cable and was able to restore it no problem. cool.gif

    Great! Glad you got it.

    You may want to go to the Parallax site and update your FTDI USB drivers (on you laptop). That can be a connection problem - I've alway just done this everytime I start to use a new computer.

    Let me know if this helps.
