Problem with StampWorks Experiments #1 and #2
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Hi,
I recently started working with my StampWorks kit and am getting
puzzling results with the first two experiements (flashing LED). I'm
using the BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller.
Here's the problem:
When I download and run the programs (blink1.bs2 or blink2.bs2) to
the NX-1000, the LED flashes only once instead of off and on
repeatedly. In these cases the NX-1000 is always powered up when
downloading.
However, I noticed that when I try to download and run the program
with the NX-1000 not powered up, the LED flashes on and off like it
is supposed to do. I do get an error message on my laptop computer
telling me:
"BASIC Stamp II detected but not responding to COM1!
Check Power Supply"
which I find puzzling since it seems to be working as it should.
Then when I click OK on the error message or when I eventually power
up the NX-1000, the LED stops flashing.
What am I doing wrong here? I'm assuming that the NX-1000 should be
powered up when I'm downloading a program to the BS2.
I've checked my PBASIC code and it matches exactly what's in the
Stampworks book. I also make sure that I use the clear program
before downloading any new programs.
Thanks for any help or insight.
Sincerely,
Michael Colangelo

Comments
and the experiment executed correctly, and that was good enough for me.
This problem occured when I was connected to my laptop, but not when I was
connected to the desktop computer.

I disconnected and then reconnected the serial cable and it works
fine.
