    Unhappy Counting down while gradually flashing and waiting for a button push.

    I started using DT's Interrupt Routine.

    I have

    - a switch
    - a led

    I now want to count from a given number z (between 7200 seconds and 180 seconds) to zero. While this happens, the led should flash. Say z is at it's beginning then the led's on and off-time equals 800ms. Then this should gradually decrease to 50ms when it's 1 or zero.
    At all this time the code should watch for the switch to be pressed. If it is, the counting and flashing should stop. When the switch is pressed again, it should continue counting and flashing.

    I tried so much. I tried using a while...wend loop, put the counting in and started the interrupt with the flashing led before. That did not work - it never took z seconds. Then I put the flashing light in the main routine and the counting in the interrupt routine. Still issues.

    I guess this has been done before. How would you approach this?

    I'd be happy if you shared some code.

    This code waits for one of 3 buttons to be pushed. Depending on which button is being pushed zaehler (equals z) changes.

    "If Timerzaehler = 781 AND Zeit = 400 Then" means that 781 times interrupt timer0 should be close to 400ms being elapsed.

    Having done all the counting, a song is being played which should be stopped by pressing a button.

    Look, this is a list of PBP users, just like yourself. No one gets paid or otherwise compensated for the time spent helping out others - it's a give and take kind of thing. You just can't expect people to, within a 6 hour timeframe, digest a piece of code 166 lines long, with comments, labels and variable names in a language the majority don't understand as well as you do then figure out what's wrong with it and post it.

    Personally I still haven't understood what the actual problem is - or even if there IS a problem.

    So, come on, play nice, ask nice and give the awsome guys and girl(s) a chance - some may not even be awake during the whole 6 hours you waited.

    /Henrik.

    I DO NOT do count down timers with actions at 0.

    No one can stop you if you do.
    But I would prefer you not use my software to do it.
    And certainly, don't publish it.

    Sorry, it's a personal thing.

    Best regards,

    HenrikOlsson:

    Look, there are thousands of forums on the internet with volunteers on it. Average time to get a quality answer is one hour. Speaking of giving and taking, we have not seen you giving anything but useless lecture which tells us more about your insecurities than you think.

    I know that you still don't understand what the actual problem is, because you would not be a giver even if you understood it.

    So, come on, play nice, ask nice and give the awesome guys and girl(s) a chance to actually give - some may not even be awake during the whole 6 hours and the first thing they see is you claiming "I am insecure please give me attention.".

    Then please go to one of the other forums if you are not receiving the answer you seek here.

    mackrackit, recommend a forum or a newsgroup or similar where pbp-issues are being discussed and a reaction is to be expected within an hour and I 'll be gone.

    What is very interesting, you are fast to complain but slow to respond. It took you 12 minutes (!) to complain and lecture but you were not able to even answer a part of the question in this time. Everyone can grouch, giving a useful answer is what shows a decently trained brain.

    Use the page search function and find out just how little Henrik has given to this thread.. nothing to be precise.

    Hi, THE Answer

    the question was " can you share some code " ...

    THE Answer is " we do not have such code " ... I think you can find it on Paintball sites ...

    VERY simple to understand.

    Add to that German is a language few people here can understand ... sorry, but it is.
