hi,

did anyone try to connect eb500 directly to BS2 without any parallex
boards? I've tried to connect

eb500 PIN 1 to BS2 GND
eb500 PIN 3 to BS2 TX
eb500 PIN 4 to BS2 RX
eb500 PIN 20 to BS2 VSS

But it seems not working, not light at all, any clues?

    Slim,

    Looks like you have the TX/RX backwards. Have you tried reversing them? The
    Stamp should SEROUT to pin 4 of the EB500, and SERIN on pin 3. If that
    doesn't work, have you:

    Checked the baud rate.
    Reset to default baud rate.
    Made sure the code is using the correct pins.
    Removed all checks on the Connection Status pin since you are not using it.
    Looked with a 'scope to see if you are getting anything.
    Removed any SERIN statements that wait for the ACK.

    HTH,

    Jonathan

    hi,

    I did that already but still there's no response, BTW, do I need to
    connect the eb500 to a serial port first and config it, then connect
    the eb500 to BS?
    or just connect eb500 to BS directly? how can I configure it then?

    Slim,

    I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do. Is it:

    BS2+EB500
    EB500+PC

    Are you saying you can't get two EB500s to talk to each other? Or are you
    saying that you can't get the BS2 to talk to an EB500?

    Jonathan

    Slim,

    OK, I have done exactly waht you want to do, so I know it can be done. I
    have a Stamp and EB500 hooked up on my desk right now. If I understand you
    correctly, you are having trouble getting the EB500 and the Stamp to work
    together.

    Did you try all the things I listed in the first message? When you send a
    command to the EB500, do you get and ACK or NCK?

    Post the code you are using. It sounds like the problem is there.

    hi,

    yup exactly, I think hooking up BS and eb500 is the 1st step, I'm still
    in there, not even talking with the bt USB dongle
    I've done what you've told me but even the USB bt can't detect another
    bt exist and there's no light flashing or being lit in the eb500.

    Slim,

    Does the EB500 status LED blink when you power on the unit? If not, it might

    it doesn't blink but my BT dongle detect eb500 with the device name
    eb500, I tried to switch from command mode to data mode but it fails,
    I believe that there's some problem but not totally dead, can anyone
    from parallex reply this email?
    Can I get a new one, I've just brought it and shipped to me this week
    and I definitely need to use it ASAP.

    Annie,

    If you are sure it doesn't blink, even real briefly, then I would call
    Parallax and talk to them. They are great.

    We still haven't seen the code you are trying to use. Post it up for us to
    look at.
