New BS - Is It Defective?

edited 2001-12-25 22:00 in General Discussion
I just got my BS2e and figured I'd start with the simple stuff to get
my feet wet and then move up from there. I decided to start with the
basic mirco circuits and go through all of the courses. I am not a
complete newbie to this stuff. I do have an Assoc Deg. In Electronics
from 15 or so years ago, but we did learn about digital circuits over
those couple of years.

I built the basic "blinker" circuit and it didn't work. So I decided
to troubleshoot it. The program is right and downloaded to the BS
correctly (according to the BS Programmer). I measured the voltage
from P0 (between it and Vdd, also between it and Vss) and it shows a
constant .7 volts. I'm using a digital DVM to measure but it should
pick up 1 sec. pulses easily.

There is voltage to the BS as it measures 5 volts between Vdd and
Vss. I even tried measuring the voltages directly off the pins of the
BS in case there was a problem with wires, breadboard, etc.

Below is the program being used:

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

I even tried a simple:

output 0
out0 = 1

So, unless someone has a suggestion, I would guess I have a bad BS2e?

    Well... I kind of figured it out. It will not work unless I put in
    some debug code to out back to the BS programmer.

    I thought it would run without any type of debug stuff... why do I
    have to put in this debug code for it to work?

    Hankster -

    No issues with the code. Could be the hardware. Add a
    debug line before the last line, GOTO reblink, thus
    repeating every 2 seconds. Do something plain like:

    DEBUG "Out 0 = ", DEC Out0, CR

    If you get the message in the debug window, your Stamp
    is loading and executing your program, so look to the
    hardware.

    Hummm... I just added a

    n var bit
    debug ? n

    to the top of the program and it works.

    I run it and the debug screen pops and and the BS works fine. If I
    stop the debug program the BS stops working. I have to unplug the
    serial cable before I stop the debug program to keep it working. If I
    remove power from the project and plug it back in, it still works.

    I am using Basic Editor v1.3 Could that be it?

    Looks like we may have a bug in the BS or v1.3 editor now since one
    other has this same problem. Read my other post. Maybe someone else
    has ideas.

    Beats me, but this trips me up every so often. The way I fount it was
    working on a PWM deal with a BS2E. I had a scope connected to a pin and had
    everything working. I started REM'ing out all my DEBUG statements and things
    took a dump. Put one back in and it worked again. Now I just leave one
    statement in my skeleton code master and I don't worry about it.

    Just for kicks, try running it with the serial cable disconnected without the
    debug statements. Maybe the COM port om your computer is holding the reset
    line high for some reason. Disconnecting it will eliminate your computer from
    from the picture.

    Closing the editor returns the com port to windows.
    If windows keeps the dtr pin high the BS is kept in reset.
    That's probably why your BS keeps working if you remove
    the cable before closing the editor.

    The fact that it seems necessary to have debug statements
    before code works is a serious problem. The stamp is able to
    run without any debug statements, or at least supposed to.

    Not sure if I ever tried it on my BS2SX. RoboDave uses OEM BS2's and has
    never mentioned it, so it may be a 2E and 2P thing.

    Hi Rodent,

    I only have bs2sx and these are already one year old (rev. 1.0 and 1.1 I

    and my code always runs perfectly wihout debug statements.
    Does it only happen on bs2e and bs2p?

    I found on my Toshiba Tecra with W2K that the RS232 drivers only turn on when
    used. W2K scans the port about once per second causing the drivers to turn
    on/off
    when idle. Thus in the idle period after downloading a program, these pulses
    cause
    STAMP resets. I had to goto a switch in the ATN line. Perhaps your seeing
    something similar and the Debug is keeping the port active?

    I am also a new BS user and couldn't get my new BS2p to do anything. I've
    sent it back after many attempts to program it with everything from a real
    DOS machine, a new Windows machine with the new software and a USB-RS232
    adaptor and a Mac with VPC/W2k and a USB-MacSerial(RS422).

    I'm curious about the requirements for the programming lines on the chip.
    I'm not sure what the ATTN pin is used for but in every case of my
    troubleshooting I made sure it was connected to DTR (or HSKo for the RS422).
    In the case of the USB-serial adaptors, they will not create the +/- 12V as
    spec'd by RS232.

    Does anyone else program using a USB-serial adaptor? I've read on the
    website that it is possible using the Keyspan adaptor and VirtualPC on an
    iMac.

    Thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to using this platform for many
    things.

    C-YA!

    Ahhh... well it looks like it is a W2K thing then as I notice someone
    else using W2K has the same problem. I can program the chip without
    the debug, disconnect the cable and it works. As soon as I connect
    the cable, the program stops running.

    I have a Toshiba laptop running W2K.

    I've been using up a couple of BS2's with their BOE board, and it's been
    working fine on my W2K-Pro desktop machine. I haven't tried a BS2p or BS2sx
    yet. My HP Laptop works OK as well, but it's running Windows ME.

    My stamp editor chokes on "pause = 1000".

    Take out the equals sign.

    Perhaps this is just a typo in the e-mail as this program would never
    even tokenize successfully for download...???
