in the WAM I can't get activity #2 to work?
Activity #'s 1 & 3 work all the time, but #2 just
won't work. I have a BASIC STAMP II and the DOS
software, which I just downloaded (The software says
I have "hardware" version 1 ) I've checked and
rechecked the program and the LED only turns on for a
second and then shuts off "once", and thats it, not on
and off indefinitely. Any suggestions

The latest revision of WAM is using PBASIC 2.5 language, not available
in the DOS Editor.

As the manual explains in chapter 1, you need to download the latest
editor with PBASIC 2.5 support.

The editor version you're using is identifying DO and LOOP as labels,
and for that reason the program is executed only once.

You can try this routine in PBASIC 2.0 with your DOS editor:
Start:
HIGH 14
PAUSE 500
LOW 14
PAUSE 500
GOTO Start

I just replaced the PBASIC 2.5 "DO...LOOP" command by the original
PBASIC 2.0 "Label...GOTO Label" command.

To send questions related to any of the Stamps in Class curriculums I
