Hi, A few minutes ago i tried a BX24.I connect the cable to the com port of my PC and then to BX24.I also plug the wall transformer.The next think i saw was the onboard leds blinking and the hello nessage on my screen.But when i tried to download a code i had a message : ----------------- halt retry or abord ---------------- The strange thing is that the leds aren't blinking any more and i have a message that basicx can not be halted. Is it fried???

Hi Check your wiring. Maybe the COM can TX to the bx24 but cannot RX it's ACK and aborts download. After checking, press the reset button on BasicX compiler. If it doesnt reset (has happened to me because i had no timers in the code on the chip) use the chips reset switch (you really should have a reset switch) BEFORE the software ends the countdown. That should be enough to regain control.

When i am trying to compile and run it i get these: *** Opening file: C:\Program Files\BasicX\Project1.bxb *** Downloading File Writing internal EEPROM Verifying internal EEPROM Verify OK Writing external EEPROM Verifying external EEPROM Verify failed, retrying Verify failed *** Download Error Error verifying external EEPROM: Serial input timed out What is the problem?I suppose that is not fried! ---------------------------------

Well, that happened to me once. I was using a USB to Serial adapter and i had to unplug the usb cable and plug it back in to get the serial connection going again (my laptop does not have any serial ports). Also, in the BasicX Editor, open the project you're trying to download and select "Project->Chip" and check if the "Code Memory" settings are correct. Check and recheck cables.
