Is rpm less than or equal to 3 when it doesn't work?

This work
if (RPM > 3) then
low Estarter

this no work

if (RPM <= 3) then (when is less the 3)
high Estarter
pause 100
low Estarter
endif

IF THEN with out an else has to have the THEN condition on the same line. This should work assuming "Estarter" is a Label or Statement.


if (RPM <= 3) then high Estarter
pause 100
low Estarter

It should work fine as-is, but if you expect to see the LED blink, you would probably
want a short pause after each logic state change.

I.E.;



RPM VAR BYTE
SYMBOL Estarter = PORTB.0
PORTB.0=0
TRISB.0=0

Main:
for RPM = 0 TO 255
if (RPM > 3) then
low Estarter
pause 100
else
high Estarter
pause 100
endif

if (RPM <= 3) then
high Estarter
pause 100
low Estarter
pause 100
endif
next RPM
goto Main

END
This definitely works. LED blinks 4 times on each pass through the loop.

I'm thinking they weren't meant to be in the same program.
They are attemping to do the same thing, 2 different ways.


This work

if (RPM > 3) then
low Estarter
else
high Estarter
pause 100
endif
this no work

if (RPM <= 3) then
high Estarter
pause 100
low Estarter
endif

In which case, the second example is simply missing the else...
if (RPM <= 3) then
high Estarter
pause 100
else
low Estarter
endif
