I tried several times to download the program codes from the Stamp Editor v2.0/v2.2 to the SumoBot via a serial port but its always gives the error message 'No Basic Stamp Found'. May i have some assistances/suggestions on this error? Thanks!

Have you checked your batteries/power supply carefully?
Are you using a custom cable? if so, check your wiring...

Hello,

·· Here are some things you can try:

1) Replace the batteries with a new set (No rechargeable)

2) If you're using a serial port connection try disabling the FIFO buffers

3) If you're using a USB connection or adapter try lowering the latency setting

BTW, I gave your post a more descriptive subject to make it more understandable.

Make sure the serial port Directive in the sample program is the serial port you are using If it's COM1 in the program and you are indeed on COM1
You could try COM2 if you have one and replace the '{$PORT COM1} with '{$PORT COM2} if you suspect your COM1 is not working.

·Appreciate and thanks everyone! It's working now, And i realised the problems lies in the serial port. Now i have one more query, how do you generate a random number using PBasic language... because im trying to light up 9 LEDs at random sequence.

Have a look at the RANDOM function in the Help file.· You could send the results to the output ports, or to a connected 74HC595.
