Stamp not responsive

edited 2004-05-21 14:05 in General Discussion
I have the Boe-Bot kit and my stamp no longer responds to the BASIC
Stamp Editor. The board currently just loops the last program I
uploaded to it. When I go to upload a new program I recieve the "No
Basic Stamps Found" , when I attempt to run the Identify feature it
tests "yes" on loop and echo but no longer provides stamp info. I
was advised that a low battery issue could be the cause so I
switched out the batteries but to no success. Any help would be
greatly appreicated.

    I've had that problem quite frequently (in fact, it happened about an hour
    ago), and it's nothing to do with battery power, as I have seen it when
    working off a mains powered supply.

    Evidence suggests that: it is something to do with the relative order in
    which

    (a) The Stamp Editor app is started
    (b) The BS is connected to the serial port
    (c) The BS is powered

    I have generally found that some combination in some order of

    (a) Power-cycling the BS
    (b) Switching to another serial port

    will restore communications. This is annoying, and it would be good to hear
    from Parallax whether this is a known issue (I have never had it happen with
    a Javelin, but then again, the Javelin IDE is very different to the Stamp
    Editor).

    I fear it is something worse as I still can not restore
    communication between my computer and the stamp.. it just stays
    there looping... eh.. I tried what you mentioned below but to no
    success

    Is there a yahoo group for the Javelin? I didn't see one, and I'm wondering
    if anyone else is getting the error "[noparse][[/noparse]Java Error] TheRoom.java(0): Error:
    Type java/lang/Double was not found" out of the Java IDE. I'm sure I'm not
    trying to use any floating point math...

    No response from Parallax support. :/
