If you get the error message “No BASIC Stamp Found” but the Run → Identify test
shows a “Yes” in both columns for one of the COM ports, you may need to change a

Close the Identification Window.
Make sure the serial cable is properly connected.
Try the Run → Identify test again.
If you know the number of the COM port, but it does not appear in the
Identification Window, use the Edit Port List button to add that COM port, and
then try the Run → Identify test again.
If you have more than one COM port, try connecting your Board of Education or
BASIC Stamp HomeWork Board to a different COM port and see if Run →
Identify works then.
If you have a second computer, try it on the different computer.
Click on your computer desktop’s Start button.
Select Settings→ Control Panel → System → Device Manager → Ports (COM
& LPT).
Select the COM port that was noted by the Run → Identify test.
Select Properties → Port Settings → Advanced.
Uncheck the box labeled “Use FIFO Buffers” then click OK.
Click OK as needed to close each window and return to the BASIC Stamp
Editor.
Try downloading a program once more.
Click on your computer desktop’s Start button.
