Like you said, you've only had PBP a couple weeks ...
Laughing would only be Rude.

Thanks for the code!
I think I can do something with it.

But first I'd like to point out the WORST Basic statement ever devised.

PAUSE xx

It turns an amazingly fast processor into a "thumb twiddling idiot".
Spending most of it's time doing nothing.
If I were that chips Boss, I'd fire it.

Granted, there are a few instances when PAUSE is required. But if at all possible, avoid PAUSE at all costs.

Working on it ....

I guess I took his 720 min out of context, pretty much thought it was a stand alone app, please allow me to take For Next, Ugh Pause, and pull up my pants , . . . "thumb twiddling idiot "!, careful Darrel, that's getting pretty close to home . . . , But Darrel <B> IS ,</b> right.

I got this lady ... could you repeat that to her?

Mike,

Are you stuck with the SOUND command, or do you just want a beep from the piezo?
I'm gonna have problems with PBP's SOUND command and interrupts.

[lilimike]

The beep doesn't have to come from the sound command, I didn't know it could be generated another way! as long as it goes beep when LEDx changes state is good.

I will learn from this project but I have a couple of other projects I will impress you with!

Thank you soooooo much for your help.

Mike

Yowwwsaaaa!

I saw something interesting floating thru the forum's waters, and I grabbed at it.
Ummm, excuse me ... can I give it back?
It looked like a piece of Tuna, I didn't know there was a Hook in it!

Oh OK, I guess not.

So many timers and conditions and beeps,
I'm just going to gnaw on this a little more ...
see if I can't work that hook out of my cheek before I hit surface.

[lilimike]

I was kind of fiddling with part of your timer code and part of what I had and I was able to get all the timings, highs and lows at the right place but the beep with the sound command is really lowsy, instead of beep it goes brererererep!
Of course If I had an scope I might see other strange things!

[Darrel Taylor]

You can probably just turn off the Interrupts (INTCON.7) during the beeps.

It'll stop keeping time during the beep, but in the scope of several hours charge time, you'll never notice.
