Q: I get a message "No Basic Stamps found" ("Basic Stamp not found"). Or, my socketed Basic Stamp module runs hot to the touch.

A: Besides obvious cabling, driver, and correct COM port troubleshooting, make sure the Basic Stamp module is inserted properly. The dot should be on the lower left corder, or a notch in the middle of the left side. If you remove and install modules, you might have placed it upside down. If you did, or if it does not work and runs hot to the touch of your finger, call Parallax for a possible discount for a replacement.
