random problem

[eggman]

I'm not so sure about that, if I use time as my seed it will always be smaller then 2730, (time / 24) Will this not affect the output of the random generator?
i.e. does the seed need to be a 16 bit number or not?

Okay, I did a little test:
If I try this code:

loop:
     random temp
     toggle LED
     pause temp >> 8
goto loop

My LED flashes in a very nicely random way.

If I try this code:

loop:
     random temp
     temp = temp >> 8
     toggle LED
     pause temp
goto loop

Then it does not flash in a nicely random way.
So... the seed must not be modified.
But anyway this still does not explain why my morse code flasher doesn't work. Unfortunately I do not have the circuit at hand (it's in Paris now) so have to probably build a second one to really test.

What about using your adcin 'audio' value as the seed - it seems like it should give you some randomness.

Hmm that's a good idea, will try, thanks
