I was under the impression that after I download my code to my Basic Stamp I could run my program code even if I disconnected my USB cable. Is this not the case, if not how do I make it work? Thanks for your help!

    Yes, you should be able to run your Stamp program even when the Stamp is disconnected from your computer.

    Look for obvious problems:

    - good battery power?

    - batteries / power hooked up correctly?



    What is your program?

    Once the program is downloaded to the Stamp's EEPROM memory (RUN), it will start up whenever the Stamp power is turned on or the Stamp is reset (/RST connected to ground / Vss briefly). If the Stamp is connected to a PC (like via USB), setting DTR true will cause a reset as well.

    If you set up a small program that flashes an LED, you will be able to see the program run after you have
    downloaded your program to the stamp and disconnected your USB.
    However:
    If you are expecting to see something displayed on your computer screen when using something like DEBUG statements.
    When you disconnect your USB you are disconnecting your desktop or laptop computer from your basic stamp system.
    Good Luck With Your Endevour.
