Basic Stamp 2 problem

First, FREQOUT only works (correctly) with frequency values up to
32,768. Second, the FREQOUT output stops before the next PBasic
statement begins, so you can't expect to continue seeing its effect
for long. Try rearranging your code like this:
Main:
freqout 6,1,40500
ir1 = in10
freqout 7,1,40500
ir2 = inll
debug ? ir1, ? ir2
goto main
So that the relevant input is sampled ASAP after the FREQOUT
terminates.

stopped working. I thought at first it was software but made a test
application that is shone below. This program is used to sense the presence
of objects using the infrared recievers on your web site.
This program does not work. The variable ir2 always is 1 no matter if there
is a object in front of it
ir2 var bit
ir1 var bit
Main:
freqout 6,1,40500
freqout 7,1,40500
ir1 = in10
ir2 = inll
debug ? ir2
goto main
When i change the program like below and comment out the ir1 = 0, the
program works fine for the in11 side.
ir2 var bit
ir1 var bit
Main:
freqout 6,1,40500
freqout 7,1,40500
'ir1 = in10
ir2 = inll
debug ? ir2
goto main
I can also switch the variables, so ir1 = in11 and ir2 = in10, then the
other side will work fine, but if i have both nothing works. I am positive
it is not the electronic circuit because it works perfectly when i do
comment out the first variable. Any help you guys could provide would be
great, my idea is that it must be a problem with the stamp, perhaps static
electricity, but i hope i can get some more suggestions.
I just got an email today back from Parallax saying that my BS2
is testing good on all points. I sent it in because my computer was
not able to program it at all. It could identity the stamp, but
could not download a program, and the program that was downloaded
previously was not running. Has anyone had this problem or anything
like it?
Thanks
Bill
My laptop's serial port (Toshiba Satellite 2535,
circa Jan 2000) refuses to recognize the BS2.
As far as I know, the port is good, and looks good on a
7-LED RS-232 break-out box. However, when I try to
'Run' on the port 'Loopback' is 'Yes',
'Echo' is 'No', and the Editor comes back with
'Stamp Not Found'.
I know the BS2 uses a couple of signals for the Editor
to reset it, identify it, and then load it -- but the
exact details of this I don't know yet.
My solution was to get a USB-based serial port, which
works with my Win-98 laptop. 'Identify' on this port
says 'Loopback' is 'No', 'Echo' is 'Yes', and the
Editor will program the part.

Belkin doesn't work, but an IOGEAR and the BAFO unit sold by Parallax work
fin.

Try disabling the FIFO buffers. This is waht it took with my Toshiba laptop.

serial port by connecting it to some suspect
equipment. I went in to control panel, System,
Hardware, Device Manager, Serial Ports, and
de-selected 'Use Fifo' on my laptop's port, and
it now says Echo Yes, Loopback Yes, and is
happy to talk to my BS2!
Now, if only I had known that tip earlier.
This still saves me having to carry that extra
cable and USB device around all the time.

to disable the Fifo entirely, I just moved the slider bar for
receiving down a notch. That has seemed to help so far. Also, I
tried the DOS stamp editor, and it downloaded flawlessly. In
addition to that, the 15K executable is certainly lightweight!

I'll try this. Does it really matter if the FIFO buffers are enabled? My
laptop seems to run everything fine without, but then I only do micro
programming with it.
