Missing Stamp
Hey All...
After a time (a few weeks) of inactivity, I got my Boe Bot out to play with and I keep getting the message "No Basic Stamps Found". The batteries were weak (~ 1.4 volts) I replaced those with new ones and get 6.44 volts at the connector. Tried 3 different USB cables without success. Also tried connection to my iMac... with 3 different cables (using MacBS2). No luck.
Bob works just fine running the last program entered (Roaming with Ping). Glad I put it in EEPROM!
I'm kinda out of ideas here.![:tongue: :tongue:](https://forums.parallax.com/resources/emoji/tongue.png)
Appreciate any thoughts!

Thanks Mike! I did call Parallax and he's working again. I'm not sure what it was... the netbook I was working with was a bit finicky not having been shut down in months. Restarted that and reloaded the FTDI drivers and all seems fine again. (Honestly, I think Bob was just being cranky because I =really= want one of those Propellor Bots when they come out! :-> )
Thanks again,
Amanda... and Bob
I have MacBS2 running on my iMac, but there is a glitch (I think). When I enter a program and disconnect the USB cable, I have to select a port other than USB, then reselect the USB port to get the Stamp to be found again. Not a huge problem, but is this normal?
Thanks,
Amanda
