BS1 Hardware Not Found Error
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
This is my first try at using the BS1 stamp. I have tried this with
three different stamps and two computers. Both of the computers are
running Windows XP. I used the Stamp1_dos_editor to create the
following simple program:
'{$STAMP BS1}
DEBUG "HELLO WORLD"
As soon as I do a Alt R I get the "Error Hardware Not Found" message.
I have checked the continuity of the conections on my cable and they
match the documentation.
I am using the Basic Stamp 1 Carrier Board powered by a battery and
only the three pin connection to my parallel port concted to the
board.
I would appriciate any ideas on what may be causing my problems.

Jim -
Make sure your printer port is set for bi-directional data. EPP is fine,
if that's available, otherwise any other bi-directional setting should be okay.
Bruce Bates
thing to do is format a Win98 boot floppy, copy the BS1 software to it
and boot from the floppy. If you use NTFS you won't be able to see your
disk drives, so be sure to copy your programs on the floppy too!

That's correct - the BS1 may only be programmed in DOS at this time.
For the details, check out page 33 of the BASIC Stamp Manual.
If you need further support, feel free to call or email Parallax
technical support. (support@p...)
There will be support for programming the BS1 in Windows before the end
of this year.
We'll make an announcement when it's ready for you.

As far as I know, the BS1 software will not run at all under XP. One
thing to do is format a Win98 boot floppy, copy the BS1 software to it
and boot from the floppy. If you use NTFS you won't be able to see your
disk drives, so be sure to copy your programs on the floppy too!

Thanks for the advice. I knew I saved those old Windows 98 emergency
disks for something. I set the printer port to EPP and put the
editor on my WIndows 98 Floppy. I guess I have partial success as I
have moved to a new error. I am now getting a "EEPROM Verify Failed"
error when I hit Alt R.
I have been using the BS2 stamp and was surprised at how easy it was
to get started. I guess the BS2 is what we would call new and
improved. I am working on a very simple problem that's even using
the BS1 is overkill for so I would like to get it working.
Thanks
Jim

Hardware Not Found" message when I hit Alt R in the BS! DOS editor.
Here is the simple program I am using to test.
'{$STAMP BS1}
DEBUG "Hello World"
I have tried this with three different Stamps and both an HP Notebook
and a desktop computer. I am using a Parallax cable and have checked
the continuity on the three pins.
I would appreciate any suggestions of what to try next.
Thanks
Jim

1) Is your BS1 powered up?
2) Is the programming connection on the BS1 end connected properly?
-- look for the >> key marking on connector and pcb
3) Are you running in a DOS box under Windows? This does not always
work.
-- If yes to above, consider switching to our latest Windows
editor an serial interface for the BS1
