Newbie problems

I recently obtained a Basic Training Kit
and was able to get a program to download
and execute. It was a simple program to
blink an LED.
output 7
again:
out7 = 1
wait 250
out7 = 0
wait 250
goto again
I was thrilled to get it to work and, after
several hours, I tried to get a more
complicated program to download and execute.
No matter what I do, the download complains
that the battery is low or the Stamp is
found but can't be downloaded. What am I
doing wrong?
Enjoy,

i can't offer any suggestions, but i recently purchased a BS2-SX
training kit and im having the same problem (however i have yet to
succesfuly DL a program to the stamp.)It gives me an error message
that the stamp is detected but will not respond and suggests checking
the power supply. what kind of stamp are you using?
(1.1 i believe, from the Parallax site). Also make sure that in the
properties, you have BS2SX as your selected stamp.
If it _still_ doesn't work, add the following line to the very top
of your program:
'{$STAMP BS2SX}
This will tell the program that it is a BS2 sx. Check your file, the
extension may be [noparse][[/noparse]filename].BS2 as well
