Ok, I gave it a try, but I quit. I can't get this stupid chip now to even run the demo programs!! I wrote a T W O line program to pulse a pin with a 1/2 second delay and then loop and downloaded it and now I can't even communicate with the chip anylonger. I think 2 days effort just to get a pin high is a bit much regardless of how much power a device is supposed to have..... Back to the Stamp and a bunch of LTC 1298 A/D chips.

well if you give up sell me your stuff for dirt cheep prices.. two day just to get a pin high is a bit much. call putpin(x,bxoutputhigh). hmm, two seconds. how about posting your code and asking for some help. it is a proven prosses that has worked for many.

Never fear! A newbie is here! I am new to the basicx24, but I know exactly how to solve your problem. You see, I am not very good at code, and I managed to write a program that made the chip stop communicating with my computer. You see, it is possible to make a program that makes the chip focus on one thing and not notice that a PC is trying to download a program. But, using the download software, where you chose your com port for downloading, there is a thing called rescue. Select rescue. It will tell you to hit the reset button on your chip. Hit it. Then wait 10 seconds like it says. It forces the chip to accept your new program. So if your problem is that you can't download a new program, the rescue will solve your problem. Hope it works. -Pat Marion _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Go back to BasicStamp and try using long integers to do floating math for a while.... And you will be back to BasicX in no time..... I am very very new to microcontrollers. Bought my first microcontroller (the BasicX) not more than two months ago. Already had done Analog inputs, basic pinouts...etc.. I had even successfully done serial comm this past weekend.. Just post your code and what kinda hardware you have hooked upto your BasicX and someone will definitely help you... I have not yet seen a person not get his/her problem solved through this board. Special thanks to the people at MediaNet... I have looked at BasicStamp for months and never liked the idea of having to do math without floating numbers, let alone negative numbers... Also I think the names you use for variables are quite restricted... Other alternatives were dev boards based on 68HC11 which required quite a bit of electronics and assy language knowledge... Plus they all cost above $100.. BasicX provides that nice entry level, no-brainer microcontroller experience for guys like me.. Now, if we could get a bit more RAM to do some AI stuff, that would be just splendid... :-) Sincerely, Burak Uzman

Hi Burak: It's not a matter of coming "back" to the BX24, come back to what? I can't communicate with it. I have been using the BasicStamp for a few years now na dhave no problems at all with it. I did some neat (to me anyway) stuff with a GPS receiver and was quite pleased with the results. I'm not quite sure what you were saying about the Stamp. Are you saying you need touse assy language to program it?? The development board cost over $100?? The Stamp board cost $20.00 and it has a MUCH easier to use language than the BX24. The only reason I'm still toughing it out with the BX24 is that I would PREFER having the ADC channels on the same chip but have no hesitation using serial, dual channel ADC's with the stamp, I'd just like to keep the parts count down is I can..
