Dumb question of the day

George99

Maybe it's just too early.

I was demonstrating the basics of the BS2 so I hooked up an LED in series with a 470 ohm resistor between VSS and P14.

The following program turns the LED on for a second then off.

' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}
HIGH 14
PAUSE 1000
LOW 14
END

It works great: when I press F9, the LED and the homework board run lights go on for 1 second as planned. But if I press reset on the homework board or disconnect and reconnect the battery, nothing happens.

I added a line DEBUG "Ending now",CR between LOW and END, then it works as expected. Why?

Solved! (sort of)

I moved the serial cable from COM2 to COM1 and now it works. Computers, bah.

To get more out of this try:

' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}
DO
HIGH 14
PAUSE 1000
LOW 14
PAUSE 1000
LOOP
END
