Hi all.

Now, I got error message as follows.
"Error Code 220 Unable to halt BasicX retry?"

Yesterday, I purchased BX24p kit.
When I first powered on that kit , LED always blinks.
'Hello World' test program was working correctly.
I tried to download and run a program.
That program was usually workiing well even though it sometimes got
no data.

Today, I got the above error message when I tried to run the same
program.
LED does not blink any more.

Please, let me know how to fix my problem.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Choi,

Assuming you are trying the correct port, try starting the download
with the BX-24 unpowered, then apply power.

Hello Tom

Thanks for your kind reply.
I tried your method but it doesn't still work.
Do you have any other method?

Choi,

The processor is seized by a sequence on the serial port DTR line, which
becomes ATN on the BX-24. Make sure that signal is working by doing the
diagnostic procedure in the IDE; click I/OPorts/ATN Diagnostic and
follow that.

If that appears to be working, perhaps you'll find success on a
different development machine's serial port.

If your using a USB to serial adapter make sure the Windows didn't
switch the port# on you since the last time you booted.

You have just confirmed what I have long suspected. Why does
windows do this, and how can you stop it doing this?

Neil,

I seldom reboot my PC so I've only encountered this problem a handful of
times.
But I can confirm it does happen and it's a bugger to figure out when
everything
was working one day and not the next.

Sorry, I don't know how to fix this problem. Does it happen to you allot?
Regards,

Chris

Hi Chris
I bought a new laptop recently, and use a USB/ser adapter
for the BX24. After finally getting it up & running I labelled the USB
port I was using with the ser port no, so I didn't have to go thru 10
ser ports to find which one was working. Next time I used the laptop,
and the same USB socket, it assigned me a different ser port!!@$#$@#
Does it every time!. A b***** nuisance. Yet I can plug a mouse into any
USB socket and it works every time.Must be more clever than the USB/ser
port adapter.

I had this changing-serial-port number problem with a cheap-o
USB-Serial dongle I bought. I trashed it and found one that uses the
FTDI chipset (their logo was on the package (tiny)). The FTDI drivers
for WIN XP don't have this problem.

Thanks for that Steve.
