One thing I discovered is it needs a decent power supply. Seems to need more current to load code than simply running with a Stim on test. Just something to check. Other thing is I always use the old desktop with proper serial port. Takes one more thing like the USB adaptor out of the equation.

Very true. 9 volt batteries sometimes run out of power before they can load firmware.

Agreed. I have never had a problem with the stim though.
