<p class="PlainText">USB 2.0 ports are recommended for BASIC Stamp boards. On some computers, the internal USB hub will freeze when disconnecting a USB 2.0 device from a USB 3.0 port. This may cause all USB ports on the computer to become unresponsive, requiring a reboot of the computer to remedy the situation. System updates from your computer manufacturer may correct the problem.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p class="PlainText">USB 3.0 ports can sometimes be identified by a blue tab inside the socket.<br /></p>

<p class="Tip" MadCap:autonum="Tip:  "><span class="autonumber"><span class="TipSpan">Tip:  </span></span>If you have a BASIC Stamp program running and want to take your board away from your computer, always disconnect and reconnect at the DB9 socket. Leave the USB to Serial Adapter connected to your computer. This will leave the virtual COM port open, allowing you to reconnect your board without the USB port resetting your BASIC Stamp. See the article <a href="../FAQTopics/UsbBoardResets.htm" target="" title="" alt="" class="MCXref_0">USB Resets BASIC Stamp</a> for more information.</p>
