Typical Stupid Beginner Question

I recently acquired a Parallax S2 robot with the intent of developing C programs for it using Catalina. I started simply with the S2 GUI and successfully loaded my first "blocks world" program, confident that if I messed up, I can reload the factory default program. The S2 remembers my program through resets, power cycling and even battery removal. However, the "restore factory settings" button on the GUI can't connect to the robot (sigh!). I'm using the serial / USB cable supplied with the robot.

    OK, never mind - my computer was taking for ever to load the driver (I had installed the program from a different computer) (sigh!)

    dms,

    your question was neither stupid nor typical. Just a suggestion: next time you might try putting more detailed buzz words into your title so people know what you're looking for.

    Glad to hear it worked out, though.

    And welcome to the forums!

    Hi DMS489
    There's no such thing as a "stupid beginner question" here:smile:
    And as ElectricAye says, "Welcome to the Forums!

    Keep us updated on your progress, and don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it - ok?
    Have fun!
    -Matt
