The Javelin Stamp IDE and other things

AwesomeCronk

Hello, I just got a Brand new, never used, Javelin Stamp. I am programming on a Professional Development Board with a Rev. D USBto232 Adapter. I ran the example program in the Javelin Stamp Manual, and received an error "No Javelin Stamps Found". I am on Windows 10. Thank you all in advance!

Did you download the FTDI drivers?

Install the drivers BEFORE plugging in the USB cable to the adapter. You may have to reboot after installing the driver.

When you select Project>Identify what version does it display?

I tried two Javelin chips on a Javelin Demo board and Professional Development board. The first identifies as $33 Firmware and will not pass connection or program. Tried with JavelinIDE 2.0.3 and 2.0, (the earliest I could find on the 2001 Parallax CD). The next one identifies as $50 Firmware and works fine with both boards and both IDE's.

I can't find an earlier IDE. Even DOS based.What is strange is that the $33 chip came on the Javelin Demo board, so it must have worked with some software at one time. I do not have the CD that came with the kit.

Using USB-RS232 Rev B and WIN 10.

I was using a USBto232 Rev.D and Win 10. My Javelin is on a PDB as well. When I hit the program button, the error said "No Javelin Stamps Found". Does you adapter work on a BS2? I have a Rev.B as well, but it does not work with a BS2, so I got a newer one. might I resolve this by using adapters as outdated as the Javelin is?

In the middle of packing to move, can't test at the moment, sorry.

My drivers have been installed for a long time. Maybe I should try and find 2001 drivers.

Anybody here doing this on Windows 10 successfully?
