I am a beginner. Plz. Help! - kanish89 - Sep 9 14:59:00 2004

Hi all

I am 14 yrs and a beginner of BasicX. When I try to compile
the "Hello World" example program in the editor, no error occurs.
But when I give the option compile and run, the program is
downloaded into the downloader and I get 2 error message boxes
saying:-
1. Bad verify at 1.
2. Setup returned invalid data: 0
I did not connect anything in the parallel port or the serial port.
Should I connect anything in the ports for the programs to run in
the downloader every time. Plz. say me what to do. I don't
understand.

Kanishka Raajkumar

Hi Kanishka,

When you choose "compile and run" the BasicX software will compile
your program and attempt to download it via the serial port to a
BasicX chip.

You say that you haven't connected anything to the serial port. You
have to connect you BasicX chip to the serial port in order for you
to run your program.

Hi Kanishka... Here is a primer....

First of all what are u usings?? A dev Board or the chip alone???

In both cases like LARS said, you need the device connected to the
serial port and POWER!!, now use caution, power means DC low voltage
power from a power supply, and serial means the cables u connect to the
chip in order to program it (And read stuff from it to your computer).

If you are using a dev board, which i guess you are (if not i recommend
u get one), then u are home free.. Just hook the little board using the
cable to the computer and from the computer to the devboard, and
connect the power supply adapter to your wall power and then the other
side to the dev board, and now you have to tell the software on your
computer what port its using (the com port number or ID or Address
where the cable is connected in your computer) usually from 1 to 3, if
you don't know configure it as 1, and if an error occurs use 2, and so
on until you get something..

The dev board, is not required but its really helpful for prototyping
and beginners like your self.

You wont use the parallel port for anything with this chips.. You only
use a serial port (Usually a smaller 9 pin connector found in your
computer, like the onw on the board, i don't remember the gender, but
it may or may not have pins in one side, don't worry, just hook it up
to your computer and power the device).. Ohh, and after this, click
Compile and run on the software on your computer.

If you don't have a dev board, you will need to make your own cables
and find a nice power supply. If you don't have a dev board, i guess
its worth another e-mail, just let us know, we are here to help.. Don't
be shy to ask, just read and investigate anything you can before
asking, when you are lost, just let us know...

I don't know if i went to basic, but its better this way i guess.

Good luck and be careful to hook everything where it should, double
check before doing anything with power (if you hook it up the wrong way
you may fry the chip... Not funny :) )....

Hi Francisco

I recieved your mail. Thank you for your detailed explanation about
the basics. Yeah! Youv'e really gone into the basics. The manual
that came with the software contained everything but not 'these'. I
don't have a development board or a chip. Could you say some junk in
which I could find a chip to program it. Or what does it take to
develop a dev. board. Or what's the cheapest rate that I can get it
for? Could you help. Yeah! I'll be careful with the power 'if' I get
either one of the chip or dev. board.

Thank you so much!!!!!!

Hi Lars
I recieved your mail. Thank you so much. Now I understood what
the "compile and run" option really does.

Thank you again

Re: I am a beginner. Plz. Help! - #...@!%! Herzog - Oct 15 12:15:00 2004


It is already October 14th and I do not see anyone helping you!

Yes, you have to connect to at least the serial port (for the BX-24
and the BX-35) If you are not using the BX-01, the parallel port
will remain useless as it is not a 'true' parallel port [it has been
reconfigured as a special BX-01 programing port via BasicX's software]

I truly hope that you figured this all out by yourself as it appears
that very few of the readers are concerned about helping beginners.
I am just starting too, but several months ahead of you. I just do
not come here often enough to help you regularly.

Keep trying, don't give up - I am 56 and I started to study
electronics at 12.

Good luck.

G. Herzog
