Clear the BS2 Program

Clear the BS2’s program

Let’s make sure to clear the program in the BASIC Stamp 2 before turning motor power on. That way, some Boe-Bot program that used to be in there won’t send your Arlo into unexpected maneuvers.

Make sure the Arlo’s Motors power is off.
Connect your board’s programming cable to your computer.
Turn on the Arlo’s Main power.
Set the BOE’s power switch to 1.
Open the No Surprise Maneuvers.bs2 program into your BASIC Stamp programming software.
Run the program using your BASIC Stamp programming software’s Run button.

' Arlo - No Surprise Maneuvers.bs2
' Run this before ever turning on power to the Arlo's motors to prevent any
' unexpected motions.
' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}

FREQOUT 4, 2000, 3000                         ' Beep -> program starting
DEBUG "Your Arlo will stay still."            ' Success message
END                                           ' End program
