Sounds to me like you have a ground problem. Make sure all your grounds are
tied together somewhere.


Just a guess.

    When i run my BS2SX program by hitting the "run" icon on the basic stamp
    editor and the debug screen pops up the program runs absolutely
    perfect...but when i turn off power and disconnect my BS2SX from my computer
    (its running by itself now) and then power it back up the stamp works only
    every now and then barely ever--i dont get it. Is there anything i can do
    to fix it?

    Steve:

    For what its worth: I had a stamp running with only a serial lcd attached,
    which would run perfectly while attached to the computer. When the cable
    was removed from the stamp, the program would not run. Reset and power
    up/down had no effect. It turned out that the problem was that I was
    driving the display with a desktop power supply, and the stamp with a line
    transformer. Apparantly the slightly different grounds caused a problem.
    Once I powered the stamp from the desktop power supply it ran
    perfectly...cable or no.
