GreenDice is an unknown quantity at this point
Programming Port

Please note that the Basic Stamp uses the DTR signal on the programming port as a "Reset" line. When you download a new program, the editor changes the state of the DTR line to reset the processor before downloading.

I think the Dashboard Monitor program changes the DTR line when it initalize the COM port. Thus the program is reset. So it is better to have the cable plugged in first when you start up the Dashboard Monitor porgram.

If you need more help on the RC connection with the Dashboard Monitor, please email me directly (liu@syrres.com)
