Comments
99% of all other problems with "Stamp not found" are due to:
1) No power or inadequate power to the Stamp
2) USB driver not installed or installed improperly. The default Windows driver doesn't work for downloading.
3) Bad cable, either the power cable or connector or the USB (or serial) cable or connector.
The problem with many USB to serial adapters is that they don't implement the serial handshake lines properly.· Downloading to Stamps (or SXs or Propellers) requires that the DTR (Data Terminal Ready) control line be implemented and controlled by the PC.· Not all adapters do this.
