Very fundamental BS2 Startup problem: POWER
Hello everyone. I'm brand new to the basic stamp 2. I have it
connected via serial to my PC. in stampw.exe, when I try to run a
hello world, it seems to recognize which port my stamp is plugged
into, but it always says "stamp found in COM 1 (or COM 2), but stamp
is not responding. check power supply."
Now I know it can't be that difficult to plug in a 9v battery, so
what is the problem?
I would appreciate it if response comes to my email
(tobiasblue@a...) since I will be checking that very regularly for
answers.
Thanks,
Ron

'{$STAMP BS2}
Don't forget the single quote in the front. This is treated as a comment,
but the Stamp software knows what to do with it.
This tells the Stamp program what Stamp you are using, in case you did not
have the proper one selected in the setup.

In fact, I had a two paragraph message ready to send to this board until I
decided to check ONE LAST THING.......
In the editor under preferences or options (i forget what it is called) make
sure that you have selected the proper COM port and especially the proper
version stamp!! For example, you will get the error message if you try to
tokenize and download a program to a BS2SX if this setting is set for BS1.
Make sure the setting matches your target stamp.

matters and I still have the same result.
My setup is
9V (energizer, non-rechargeable) battery plugged directly into
carrier board. BS2 on carrier board. DB9 serial going from carrier
board into computer. I have 2 different serial ports, both didn't
work. That's it, nothing else hooked up - I just want to see Hello
World..
' {$STAMP BS2}
DEBUG "Hello World!"
As an interesting debugging observation I noticed if I use "auto" COM
search, it systematically goes through available COM ports until it
hits one, say COM 2, and says "Basic Stamp 2 detected on COM 2 but
not responding! Please check power supply." Then if I try using COM 2
in the preferences instead of "auto" it says "Basic Stamp 2 not
responding on COM 2: 1) check power supply 2) check serial cable
connection."
any of these details give any more clues?

about which one. I.E. BS2, BS2E, BS2SX or BS2P
Also you have not mentioned if the BS can be found using the Identify
command. Here under EDIT, PREFERENCES, EDITOR OPERATION you also need
to select the correct BS.

attached via a direct 9V connection. (Sorry if I'm not more verbose,
I don't know the terminology but it's just got the
characteristic "fat" and "skinny" 9V connection on the side of the
carrier. In other words, I don't use any wiring, I just stick the
battery into the board. )
As far as the question about Identifying the stamp, I get the same
error whether I Identify or try running my program.
Thanks for your help so far everyone, although I've either thought of
your suggestions or have tried new things to no avail. If anyone has
any new input please continue to help.
