To download a program from your PC to the Stache…
Start the Parallax Stamp II programming software, and load the program you wish to transfer to the
Stache. You can use either the DOS or the Windows software. If you are running Windows software, be
sure that the proper stamp is targeted (BS2, BS2sx, BS2e or BS2p), and the All option selected for down-
loads under preferences/editor operation). Connect the Stache to your normal programming cable, using
the DB9 gender-changer provided, as shown in the photo. Power the Stache with a good 9-volt battery.
RUN the program just as if you were programming an ordinary BASIC Stamp. The progress bar should
appear on the computer screen, and the LED on the Stache
should flash on and off green as the program is transferred
to the Stache. (If it flashes red, see the error codes below.)
You can now disconnect the programming cable, and you
can disconnect the battery from the Stache. The program
data is stored in non-volatile memory in the Stache.
Special for BS2sx, BS2e & BS2p. These stamps can hold
more than one program in up to 8 program banks. In the
Windows software, the programs can be organized into
projects by use of the $STAMP directive. When you choose RUN, and if ALL is selected under
preferences/editor operation, then all of the programs associated with the project will be downloaded to
the Stache. If you are using the DOS software for the BS2SX, BS2e, or BS2p, you must load and RUN each
program in your project separately, using the ALT-n option to select the target bank before each down-
load. In either case, Windows or DOS, the Stache will store and keep track of all the parts of your project
as one unit.
To upload a program from the Stache to a BASIC Stamp…
action required for the BS2sx, BS2e or BS2p. All of the
programs in the project will be transferred in quick suc-
cession. That's it! Your Stamp is programmed. Unplug
the Stache and detach the battery, or move on to pro-
gram other Stamps.
When you connect the Stache to a good 9 volt battery, the green light will
flash briefly. Plug the Stache into the programming connector on your
Stamp project or carrier board. Refer to the box if you do not have a stan-
dard connector and need to construct an adapter. Be sure the power to your
project is also turned on—the Stache battery does not power your Stamp
project. There must be a
connection (direct or via a
capacitor) from pin 4 of
the DB9 connector to pin
3 of the BASIC Stamp.
The type of program in the Stache must match the type of Stamp to be pro-
grammed, or else you will get an error message.
Press and quickly release the pushbutton on the Stache. The green light
should flash on and off as the program is transferred to the BASIC Stamp,
and then finish up with a longer green flash. (If it flashes red, see the error
codes.) There is no special
Stache Quick Start.
