I am on the road again with a small display but what I can see looks good!

I take you have ran it a few times and it is working as expected?

I've got a bug (it maybe a small infestation!)...(I could have swore it worked earlier!)

I spoke too soon, 'Mission' incomplete. I'll try and debug it later tonight.

I added a couple things, messes up your averaging part (never gets there now) but maybe this will help.
Other than that it is looking good!!!!

MC_S:                     'MC Starts subroutine
READ 12, M_s              'Read current number of M/C Starts
LET M_S = M_S + 1         'Increment value by one
'#######
IF M_S > 5 THEN
M_S = 0
ENDIF
'#######
WRITE 12, M_S             'Save new value
READ 12, M_s              'Read latest value
pause 150                 'Give LCD a chance to Power_up
LET M_S = M_S             'Set value to display
LCDOUT $FE,$C0, "Machine Starts=",DEC M_S 'Display M/C Starts on LCD from EEPROM
RETURN

Power_up:                 'Power_up subroutine
Read 0, Total.HIGHBYTE      ' Read high byte
Read 1, Total.LOWBYTe     ' Read low byte  
'#######
IF TOTAL > 5000 THEN
TOTAL = 0
ENDIF
'#######
LET Total = Total         'Set Total to value set in EEPROM Memory
pause 150                 'Give LCD a chance to Power_up
LCDOUT $FE,2,"Total=",DEC Total 'At Power_up display Total on LCD from EEPROM
                          'Memory which has been stored since Power_down                      
return

Hi mackrackit

Thanks for the 'addins' I've run the program and apart from 'Total' (when the program starts for the first time after compiling not equalling zero) I reckon it works, even the Av_Parts_Run works if you subtract that spurious 'Total' figure, so well pleased.

What do you reckon?

Set things up so when a pin is held HIGH at start-up the EEPROM is re-set to zeros. Then you should have a complete counting/storage system that can be re-set.

Now we have to think of something else for you to do

Gotcha......

How about this for a quick diversion: How are we on using a PIC to drive a servo motor?

We've been getting a visitor to our garden late at night (we think it's a Badger) and would like to film it. I've got a FUTABA FP-5148 servo that I'd like to link up to a cable release to press the record button on a video camera after receiving an input from a PIR to the PIC.

The sequence is this:

1/ PIR 'beam' get broken by 'Creature'.
2/ PIC activates servo to move cable release out and turn camera on.
3/ PIC waits 10 secs while camera boots up.
4/ PIC activates servo again moves cable release out turns camera record on (same button).

The camera will record on it's own for 10 mins then powers down.

5/ If PIR been is still broken (creature still there) after 9min:30secs servo presses record button again.

6/ PIR beam 'closes' creature has gone, camera powers down.

What do you think mackrackit?

Sounds like fun...
But what do you do when you find out it is a badger... or not

Do you have the data sheet for the servo? PIR?
