basic stamp 1 programming connections
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
What would a list be without stupid questions from newbies!
I am new to the basic stamp but not to tinkering with electronics. I
can't seem to program the basic stamp 1 that I just got.
I followed the wiring digram for programming the stamp and did
continuity tests on my cable but I can't seem to get my stupid "hello
world" program to download to the stamp.
here is my connection information
parrallel port stamp pin
pin 25 pin 2
pin 11 pin 3
pin 2 pin 4
The only thing the diagram doesn't say is where to connect power!
But, I assumed (bad idea) that I should connect my 9v battery ground to
pin
25 which is the parrallel ports ground and the positive lead to pin 1
of the stamp. Is this correct? If it is then why is it that when I
connect the stamp to the computer and hit alt-r the program tells me
that the "hardware [noparse][[/noparse]is] not found".
Please help!

that right.
Are you running the Stamp I software? Under DOS or Windows? Some people
have trouble running it under Windows. It certainly doesn't run under
Windows NT/2000/XP.

have any configuration steps, so I
figure it should work out of the box.. so to speak. Do you recall what ground
on the 9v should be connected to?

Assuming you have the Stamp powered up correctly, are you sure your printer
port is available in DOS?
On some PC's the ports don't exist except in Windows -- strange stuff.
Anyhow, this is how you tell:
Boot up in DOS or restart in DOS from Windows
At the DOS prompt, type DEBUG and press enter -- you will see a "-" prompt.
Type D0:0400 and press enter -- those are zeros and not the letter O! A
whole mess of numbers will be displayed.
The first line should begin with 0000:0400 -- there are 8 groups of two
characters and a dash -- these represent the serial ports found in DOS.
After the dash is where you find the parallel ports DOS knows about -- LPT1
would show up as 78 03 in the first two pairs of characters. Likewise LPT2
would show up as 78 02 in the second two pairs of characters.
If its not there, it does not exist in DOS. If its got the wrong address --
ie the first two pairs are not 78 03 -- you need to be sure the parallel
port is hard-coded to an address in the BIOS and not set to auto.

Looks like LPT2 is available in DOS. Does the parallel port have to be
bi-directional for this thing to work?
What are my other options? The windows version is only for BS2 right?
