Question about If Then

[manta_z]

Yes, I have tried that. PB pro does look much better! In PB, Else is seen to be a label and it gives a ": expected" error on the line with Else on it. The method that works is very similar to what you suggested:

If B0 = 1 Then LIGHTON
Low 7
Goto NEXTPART
LIGHTON:
High 7
NEXTPART:
(code continues)

But unlike this most simple example, things start to get complicated (for me) when there are more If statements referring to that variable which makes what should be a single code block get spread out across many jump labels.

So the Else and EndIf commands are used in PB pro? - I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the help.

I also have run into this.
PB is not what I was expecting, or sold for that matter.
Nothing works like the examples given.
I even get errors compiling the examples as you state.

I cannot define VAR, CON, INCLUDES, etc. whats up with that?
I'm gonna have to go back to MPLab asm at least it WORKS like I expect!

I thought buying PB was going to help but it has made things more difficult.

All I want to do is read pins and set pins with some if---elses but all I can do is peek and poke. I might as well just do asm if I have to write code in broken assembler...

I am not trying to stir the pot but this is not straight forward as it is shown
in software examples.

Back to asm I go, ugh!!!

Did you buy PBP (PicBasic Pro) or PBC (PicBasic Compiler).

If you got PBP, then all those things will work.

If you took the cheeper version (PBC) ... then you have a LONG nighmare ahead of you.
