    never?
    Attachment not found.
    That is a 2005 version Stamp PDB. It programs quite nicely via USB. I wonder why Parallax took it off in later revisions.

    Josh, I have to wonder about the 12V, 600mA wall wart. I'd have to guess that it was defective, or something else is going that spoiled the power supply.

    Tracy,

    I try to be all things historic Parallax, but I have to admit I have never seem that board.

    Many thanks for bringing that up. That would have save our OP some grief. :)

    That is a rare bird. Found it in the 2006 catalog.

    EDIT:
    Can't upload it. It's too big. Will get the page.

    I see that too; marked new in the 2006 catalog, with USB, then sans USB in 2007. I've held on to the old catalogs too. Keep track of the product line evolution, besides, Jen and the team produce works of art.

    Hi,

    Sorry for the delay, I was just able to get to the message asking me to look into this.

    But it sounds like you solved it. By the way, the board I have is a Rev B, which says 9 VDC on the power connector, so I wouldn't recommend using 12 VDC at all unless the rev of the board you has says 12 VDC.

    Here's a link to the catalog.

    At some point the built in FTDI USB connection was removed from the PDB, Revision C maybe. I have a Rev B that has the FTDI chip, but it was gone on the most recent version I actually looked at.

    Rick,

    I do stand corrected. A little bit of history I missed.

    i did a bit of research on the web and many people have seen this issue.

    Well now I'm curious what the other peoples' issues were. Do you have those links, Josh? Any resolution?
