cycle limit?

We are using a BS-2sX to run experiment 27, and we modified the code
so it'll run continuously. We were running it on a Board of
Education (Rev. B). The problem is, after running for a couple
thousand (?) cycles, the program would stop sending DEBUG commands to
the Stamp Editor. And the output, as monitored by an oscilloscope,
would also cease.

Why's that?

Thanx,

Jimmy

    Did you check the battery voltage ? The BS-2SX is rather power hungry.

    We found a 9-VDC AC-DC converter and plugged it into the board. But
    the problem is still there.

    I'm not familiar with that particular exercise, but are you exceeding the
    limits of some variable ? The size (NIB, BYTE, WORD) will dictate the maximum
    number that can be contained therein.
