I am running some of the experiments in the Earth Measurements
'stamps in class' book. Here is the short one I am working on:

'{$STAMP BS2}
debug "here we go"
dit con 70
dah con 3*dit
i var nib
for i = 1 to 5
freqout 0,dit,1900
pause dit
next
pause dah
for i = 1 to 5
freqout 0,dah,1900
pause dit
next
If I do not put in the debug statement, I just hear 1 short beep. I have
noticed in other experiments that things are not working right without
at least 1 debug statement. I am using the NX-1000 experiment board.
Has anyone else run into this?

Kurt

    This is a weird serial port problem on your PC -- I saw this in Holland while
    conducting a BASIC Stamp training class in March. Change your serial buffer
    FIFO settings to zero. That fixed the problem on two separate machines (I'm
    betting you're using a notebook PC).

    Jon,

    Thanks! That did the trick. This mailing list is a valuable
    resource, and Parallax should take some bows for
    maintaining a presence here! Thanks again Jon!

    Kurt
