For everyone having trouble downloading to the board...
Hello everyone. Anyone who had problems downloading their program
to the bs2 using the board of education like we did might want to
look into this:
On page 199 "connecting to the PC" section of the bs2 manual provided
by parallax (the old one), it says "1)...When plugged onto the board,
the interpreter chip, the largest chip on the BS2-IC, should be
farthest from the reset button"
If you plug the stamp into the board in such a fashion, with the
largest chip as far away from the reset button as possible, it's
actually backwards and will give an error such as "Stamp detected but
not responding on Port 1".
Just to restate, on the board of education, the largest chip on the
stamp needs to actually be CLOSEST to the reset button. I hope this
helps.
