    If I need a replacement can they go ahead and send it overnight because I need the part by Tuesday.

    Just to confirm, you ran the test code with the 7Seg-DB plugged into socket "A" and still got things like 4444, 9999, right?

    Oh. I didn't know you meant plug the 7Seg ito socket A. This is just for testing right. Since I will be using socket A for the PWR I/O DB and the sensor in the final application.

    Yes, just for testing. We need to isolate the problem to either the MoBo or the 7Seg-DB.

    I loaded the 7seg.hex into coprocessor A and the 7Seg-DB is plugged into slot A. I pasted this program into the Basic Stamp Editor and the display remained blank. When I changed Con 6 to Con 10 the display shows 8888.

    ' {$STAMP BS2pe}
    ' {$PBASIC 2.5}
    Owio CON 6
    PAUSE 10
    DO
    OWOUT Owio, 0, [noparse][[/noparse]HOME, "09"]
    LOOP

    Okay, it's definitely the 7Seg-DB then. Give Parallax a call on Monday to arrange a replacement. If they have any questions, your can refer them to this thread, or they can call me. (They know the number. smile.gif )

    I just sent support an email. Can you help them get kick started. I need the part by Tuesday. They probably need to send it overnight.

    I don't work for Parallax. That's why I suggest you call them first thing Monday morning. That will be your quickest route to a satisfactory outcome. It would also be helpful if you could return the unit you now have so it can be evaluated. Meanwhile, I've emailed Parallax support a heads-up.
