Warranty Information on Parallax Propeller Quickstart

[DavidZemon]

Hello,

I plugged my Quickstart board in today and it has stopped working. I wrote a quick program to test it and used two different computers. On the first computer, the LEDs blink correctly but the print statements are garbled. On the other computer, propload won't get past the "verify" stage.

The code running is:

Code: Select all

#include <propeller.h>

// Personal library files
#include <PropWare.h>
#include <gpio.h>

// Main function
void main (void) {
	uint8_t i = 0;
	uint32_t led = 1;

	GPIODirModeSet(BYTE_2, GPIO_DIR_OUT);

	while (1) {
		__simple_printf("Hello world! %u\n", i);

		led = ((uint32_t) 1) << 16;
		led <<= i%8;
		GPIOPinWrite(BYTE_2, led);

		waitcnt(CLKFREQ + CNT);
		i++;
	}
}

This leads me to believe there is something wrong with the RS232 converter or, at very least, some piece of hardware between the Propeller and the USB port. Is this under warranty through Adafruit? Through Parallax?

Thanks,
David

More debugging makes me think it is not hardware. I'm going to take this over to the prop forums now.

You might try a different USB cable...
