Using the BS2E for the first time.

Posts: 46,084
I am new to using the stamp processors, I have been using the BS2 and
writing code with the 1.091 version software. I just bought a BS2E
and I need to know if It will run the 1.091 software or do I have to
rewrite the code? If so what version do I use? And can you just plug
it in to the same project board socket? Skip

Code-wise, your new BS2e is 100% compatible with the BS2 code you've written.
With the BS2e, you get three new commands: PUT, GET and RUN.
PUT will place a byte into the scratchpad RAM. The scratchpad (64 bytes) is
available to all eight program slots in your BS2e.
GET retrieves a byte from the scratchpad.
RUN will execute another program slot.
Electrically, the BS2e uses a bit more current than the BS2, but you can
safely put it into your existing project board.

Jon, Thanks for the info. I must have a broken devise because when I
try to run or load the code It wont load an error message says check
the power and I verified that power was OK. Skip

Did you remember to change the part description in the file to:
'{$STAMP BS2e}

The latest version of the stamp software is 1.3. Download from the
http://www.parallaxInc.com. It automatically checks what type of
stamp is connected to your PC.
The version 1.091 IDE does not do that and requires that you do it
manually as n6mwc pointed out.
