I have a pocket watch b
I try to write a arduino program for thePocket watch b
I modified the bs2 sample to rebuild thearduino program
But the modified program could not work

I'm sorry. We can't help you with your Arduino program. Try one of the Arduino support forums.

Part of your problem may be that the values that you're transmitting to the Pocket Watch B are not the same as the values given in the Stamp program. $55 for example is 85 when written in decimal and that's what is sent to the Pocket Watch B by the Stamp program. I think that mySerial.print($55,HEX) sends the two characters "5" and "5". Study carefully the description of the SEROUT statement for the Stamp and the .print statement for the Arduino.

Mike is right. I believe what you need to do is replace all your mySerial.print(val,HEX) with mySerial.write(val) since the write function sends the byte value of val not a 2 character string

SEROUT11,84,[$55,$00,$00,$1E,$06,$03,$06,$61]

$ is PBASIC notation for a HEX number.
In Arduino/C a hex number has a different notation - 0x
So, the equivalents for those noted above are: 0x55, 0x00, 0x00, 0x1e, 0x06, 0x03, 0x06, 0x61

I moved your thread to the General Discussion forum, since it was off topic in the BASIC Stamp forum.
