MaxMspJitter and serial communication

student2007

Hi all,

I'm having some troubles communicating my BS2x with MaxMspJitter. I am using a usb to rs232 cable with the basicstamp. When the basicstamp is plugged into COM3 (where the driver is installed), MaxMspJitter doesn't see COM3. The message was something like this "Serial port not available". MMJ can see COM3 when the basicstamp is unplugged.

This is my first time doing serial communication so I'm not sure what to do. Is it the usb adapter that I am using? Or do I have to configure something from the driver.

Thanks. : )

EDIT: I think I solved this. After loading the program into bs2x, I had to unplug the usb and then replug it before running MMJ file.

You have to make sure only one device is using the com port at a time. If you downloaded a program with the stamp editor that opened the debug window you need to close the window before connecting another program to the com port. You should not have to unplug anything.
