BS2 homemade board serial comm. prob.
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I'm building a small little 'bot. I've put a BS2 on a proto board. I've also
wired up a programming cable. When I try to program it I get a comm error
that says that the BS2 is detected but I should check the power supply. I've
hooked the board up to the power supply on the BOE. The BS2 works find in
the BOE. My power supply looks fine. There is ~4.97v (same as BOE) on PWR &
+5V. I'm powering it from a regulated 5v. Like the BOE. Suggestions?

external source, the other is for 9-12 volts, which is then regulated on the
BS2 module. On the BOE, the regulator on the board supplies the power. On
the Activity Board, the chip itself regulates the power. You use one or the
other, depending on what your power requirements are for external devices,
etc... If you are supplying 5 volts to the 9-12 volt input on the BS2, the
input voltage is too low for the regulator to do its job.
Look at the BOE schematic on the Parallax web site and see which pin is
connected to the regulator on the BOE.

loopback) to COM1 but tell stampw.exe to not use COM1 (which I know
to be the correct serial port to access the Stamp), I get the
following message when trying to run a program:
"BASIC Stamp II detected but not responding on COM3!
Check power supply."
Conclusion: the editor can make a mistake by detecting a Stamp where
there is none (in this case, on COM3) and giving a misleading error
message as a result. Make sure the editor is trying to access your
Stamp from the correct serial port. If you don't know for sure which
serial port you ought to specify, try forcing COM1, then COM2 etc.
Why can you successfully program your Stamp on the BOE but not on
your board? My guess is your cable doesn't have the RTS-->DSR
loopback so the editor is not finding your Stamp's serial port
automatically. The BOE may have this loopback on the PCB itself
(anybody know for sure?) so a garden variety cable works fine on it.

First, are you sure the BS2 hasn't crapped out? can you program it
with any other boards
Secondly, are you 100% sure that all the connections are good? I've
spent 2 days pulling out my hair when an HC11 board I made wouldn't
program, until after 20 visual inspections of connections, I started
wiggling wires, and found one of the programing wires was a fraction
of a millimeter away from the pin/solder blob, and at an odd angle
that I never would have noticed without actually doing the 'wiggle
test'
Hope that helps..
