yet another newbie

Archiver

I have the student workbook of the bs2 micro controller and I am trying to
run the first exercise in it. When I press run it comes up with an error
message that says check power supply. I have the negative terminal connected
to pin 23 and the positive at 24. the code I am writing is

output 0
reblink:


out0=0
pause 1000
out0=1
pause 1000
goto reblink

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ben,

Don't forget that your code must identify the type of Basic Stamp you
are using. Somewhere near the top (Usually the first code following any
comments) it must say:
' {$STAMP BS2}

or BS2e or BS2sx or BS2p based on which BS you are using.

Also if you are using the v1.1 editor under
Edit/Preferances/Editor_Operation set the default stamp mode to the BS2
type that you have.

If that does not fix your problem, what voltage are you providing to
pin 24?

You appear to be using an alphabetic "O" for out0. It should be
a number zero.

Make sure you have the following line at the top of the code:

'{$STAMP BS2}

This tells the compiler which stamp it needs to use. If you don't
already have it, I would suggest getting the BASIC Stamp editor 1.2
software from www.parallax.com . The help doesn't seem to work in
Windows XP unless you run the .chm file out of the program
directory, but the improvements to the interface can be a big help,
especially when switching between different types of stamps (BS2,
BS2sx, etc.)
