help with this PicBasic program!!!

[rosecatherine]

what to do if you ask for an input?

the port i am using is PORTC.0?

will i just do this:

if PORTC.0 = 1 then
high PORTD.1
endif

?


is there anything more specific like it waits for the user to give the input?
thanks a lot!

looks like there's a problem with your compiler/include file. Did you ever compiled a program before with your recent software and settings?

I'll assume you want to use a push-button for a user to press... look for the 'button' instruction - it 'de-bounces' a switch which is usually needed for a nice clean input from an electrical connection made via puch button switches.

' BUTTON Command
' - taken from https://www.microengineeringlabs.com/resources/samples.htm
' Demonstate BUTTON command. Prints working variable (in this case B0) to
' show how auto-repeat works. Prints "PRESS" when button is pressed or
' repeated.

Symbol SO = 0 ' Serial Output
Symbol B = 5 ' Button Input

B0 = 0 ' Zero Button Working Buffer
Loop: Button B,1,10,5,B0,0,Skip ' Check Button (Skip if Not Pressed)
Serout 0,N2400,("Press",13,10) ' Indicate Button Pressed
Skip: Serout 0,N2400,(#B0,13,10) ' Show Working Variable
Pause 100 ' Visual Pause
Goto Loop ' Forever


Other wise... this should 'wait' for input if you are electrically de-bouncing the button/switch...

while PORTC.0 = 1
high PORTD.1
wend

But may depend on what version of picbasic you are using... (is 'while' a legitimate command?)

If not..try...

Loop: if PORTC.0 = 1 then turnon
if PORTC.0 = 0 then notyet
turnon:
high PORTD.1
goto exitloop
notyet: goto Loop

exitloop:
