HP Jornada 720 & Stamp
![freaked.gif](http://forums.parallax.com/images/smilies/freaked.gif)
Hello everyone at parallax. I have one of the BS2 homework boards and an hp jornada 720 “specifications at the bottom of page”. my question is has any one tried to interface the two and had any luck. I have all of the cables and adaptors to connect the two. I found a emulator for DOS and I can load the “STAMP2.EXE” file but it dose not detect the stamp.
Anyone with any info or ideas hit me back. And can some one recommend a good book that will learn you right when it cones to PBASIC?.
Peace out all

If your Jornada emulator is meant to allowing running of DOS programs, it may still not talk to the Jornada's serial port. Or, the Jornada may not implement the required control lines to trigger the Stamp into run after a download.
If I interpret your print out correctly (the smilies don't really add anything!) it appears there is a modem present which may be already using the serial port. You might have to re-assign it to another port.
Cheers
Dose the stamp software pick a different COM Port other than COM1? When i pull up SETCOM in my DOS Emu this is what i get
COM1: Serila Cable on COM1:
COM3: Infrared Port
COM4: Raw IR Port on COM4:
COM6: Built-In V.90 Modem
COM9: USB Cable on COM9:

If you need the Com1, the next thing to do is to determine what signals are present and at what levels [noparse][[/noparse]true +12/-12 or more likely something far less]. You may have to use a oscilloscope or VOM to do so.
When you have that information, someone may be able to tell you what your options really are.
If it works well, it is quite a niffy support for the BasicStamp.
