usb to serial converter won''t program

What we have found, tragically, is that not all USB adaptors are created
equal. The connection between the Stamp and the serial port is more
than a serial stream, we use the DTR line to reset the Stamp so we can
program it. In all our tests, the Bafo unit we sell worked the best.
Try to find it locally.

Thanks for this. What settings do you use? 9600,8,N,none? The Parallax
one costs a lot to ship to Australia (2x the cost of the unit!). May
try to source locally.

I use one I purchased from Parallax and it works perfectly. Other brands
may have some problems.
