I'm trying to run a motor align for the sumo bot that my son built. When I run the motor align I·get an No Basic Stamps Found ERROR. In the download box it shows Echo:yes, Loopback:yes, but under device and version it is blank. I could really use some help. Thanks

    Make sure the power is good to the stamp and make sure the cable is connected. How are you connecting? USB or serial? Has this ever worked?

    It's connected by USB. When we first hooked it up we had some wheel movement.

    This behavior usually indicates lack of power to the Stamp itself. If you're running it off a battery, try a new one. If you're using a "wall-wart" AC power cube, check to make sure that's working.

    thanks for your help!!!
    I found out the problem. #1 my son didn't put the batteries in the bot. #2 He had made error in connecting the neg and pos power wire. I fixed the problem without the help of my husband and it works fine!!!
