I have been writing code for the BX-24 chip with no problems. Now I get an "External EEPROM Verify Error' The program compiles without any errors. Is there anything I can do to correct this? Thanks for any help. Larry Harriman |

Hello Frank, I am using version 2.0 of the BASICX compiler. I noticed tonight it didn't show up immediately, but did after I had written to the BX-24 several times with programming updates. Could the chip be getting hot during the write cycle causing a problem. The chip is enclosed in an airtight box with a 4X20 LCD unit, along with a keypad, and clock circuits. Thanks for responding so quickly. Larry Harriman |

The temperature depends on a number of things, such as the total amount of power being dissipated. The LCD backlight can take an appreciable amount of power, for example. It's hard to say -- does the chip feel hot? One thing you might try is downloading the new V2.1 beta test version of the IDE: http://www.basicx.com/beta/ This may fix the problem, and if it doesn't, it will display more diagnostic information that can help us better understand what's going on. New documentation is available separately at this site. If you want to keep the old docs, you should copy them to a separate directory -- otherwise the new setup deletes the old docs. You might also check out the new troubleshooting section in the back of the V2.1 compiler users guide. -- Frank Manning -- NetMedia, Inc. |

Frank, I downloaded the beta version. It locks up while compiling a program if I am running Windows Me. Ver 2.0 doesn't do that. I will try it on another computer and also on Windows XP and let you know what I find out. Larry Harriman |

Does the problem happen only during a compile? Does the downloader window still work -- that is, can you halt the BX-24 and download a previously-compiled program through the downloader window? > Ver 2.0 doesn't do that.
