BasicX 24 Factory Program Wont Halt (used with Parallax BOE)

Started by rustyk_78 November 3, 2005

Some time back there was a post from Net Media when they announced that they
would be launching a fast but competitively priced USB to serial converter
what
happened to that project?

It must be Chris who commented as it was after the departure of Frank
Manning

Perhaps. I have found that some USB to serial converters are not fast
enough for the ATN toggling protocol used to reset and download to the
BX-24. Out of four different ones that I have tried, the only one
that did work was the FTDI-based unit.

I believe that adapters based on the FTDI chip FT232BM should work.
