HAVE YOU CHECK YOUR POWER SUPPLY? You could just be 'browning out' the device.

I know it may seem silly to ask, but I seem to always have either my BasicStamp or the SXKey fail to program due to low voltage.

At times I have gottem odd behavior and at other times it just says that no device can be found.

My problem is that I prefer to use a battery pack at my programing desk because more wires just get tangled. Sooner or later I find the wires pulling everything off the table and onto the floor.

It works with the same power supply but on a USB to RS-232 converter (as posed further back in the thread). The power is good (Stiff/fast supply with lots of bypassing caps). 

 

I'm convinced that the program just doesn't like my hardware serial port!  :smile:
