Hello, I know that Netmedia had its Basicx compiler available for download. I just checked the site but I could not find it. Does anyone know the link to the files? thanks, Sam

www.basicx.com/transfer It has no link, but NetMedia tells us the address.

Good afternoon, I had a bx-24 fully operational on a breadboard last night. There were of course other electronics as well, but the board was off all night. Today, I can't talk to it at all. I have tried other bx-24s, and they work fine; it is just this chip. The bx-24 is drawing only 6mA, which fits the quescient current of the regulator, but nothing more, I believe. This makes sense, as the 5V bx output from an unregulated 9V in is reading, well, 5.00V. This is too perfect, as if nothing on the bx-24 chip other than the regulator is powered. Any ideas as to what is going on here? I have not touched the setup at all, other than to see it not work, since last night. Maybe it's those little trolls that always steal my soldering heat-sink? Thank you for your time, Paul

Paul- do you, by any chance, own a cat? I was having problems with ESD sensitive components getting fried on my work bench. A webcam watch of the bench revealed that my cat likes to nest amongst the cmos components while I'm away at work. It also explained why so very many IC's could be found just inside the closet door at the end of the hall--apparently they make excellent kitty hockey pucks ;) peter ******************************************************** When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it. --A.

Hi Peter, Well, no I don't own a cat (unfortunately), but I do have a dog. It's very doubtful that he was playing hockey:) I always keep my lab door safely locked from such intruders. You're right, it may be ESD. I discounted the thought, though, as all my workbenches are properly grounded and equipped with anti-static precautions--minus an air ionizer. So maybe that is a reasonable conclusion? With nothing changing, except turning on a power-supply, there are only so many things which can ruin a chip...

Silly question but have you tried the rescue option? Perhaps the BX is in a tight loop or something similar? Regards Jean-Michel.

Hi Jean-Michel, Well, yes I have tried rescue. But I did it out of curiousity, as I really don't think the bx is stuck in a loop: on all my programs, I have one on-chip led lit in the initial state, so I know power is on. None of the leds are on here, so it must be a more serious problem.
