pulsin again!anyone plz help!

sir how can i output the value of a button?? im using a sony tv remote...
so i guess no way to output the value....

Dave meant the value of the IRBUTTON variable.

When developing software, sometimes you want to monitor what's happening INSIDE the PIC. Like Variables, Register, etc. The debatable lazy way is to use Simulator, but it doesn't solve any real life problem. So what many here do, is to send/display variables value on a LCD... or send it serially to your PC using Hyperterminal, MicroCode Studio Serial Communicator OR else so called "Terminal". If you have a PICKIT 2, you can use the built-in terminal utility.

To me, when you do PIC stuff, you should have at least the following tools:
1) Serial adapter To send/receive data to/from your PC AND/OR LCD (serial or Parallel)
2) Logic Analyzer
3) Scope

For IR stuff, using a logic analyzer to record the incoming data make the whole thing a real piece of cake. You could also record the data with your PC soundcard with any decent Wav/Audio editor (SoundForge, Audacity, etc). Once you know what kind of signal comes in (or to be expected), it's easier to create/debug your code.

oh right thanks let me try it out!

[engineer7]

ok i have another question.my code is working the below one.
as i am very new to pic basic pro i just have one more question and i know that it is a piece of cake for u guys. ok in my code the sensor is on portb.2
and i am showing the output on portb.5.ok
the portb.5 is being turned high infinitly when it detects an incoming signal.i want to turn it back low (infinetly)when it detects the signal again and again back high when detects the signal again. can it be done???
maybe using an ISR?can anyone guide me or help me out???

You could use the INT INT on RB0, I think if you used RBC interrupts the other B pins would interfere, but RB0 has a seperate INT INT interrupt which would be unaffected, but yes and I would use Darrel's instant interrupts

INCLUDE "DT_INTS-14.bas"

ASM
INT_LIST  macro   ; IntSource,        Label,  Type, ResetFlag?
        INT_Handler    INT_INT,    _YourINTHandler,   ASM,  no
    endm
    INT_CREATE               ; Creates the interrupt processor
ENDASM

@   INT_ENABLE   INT_INT     ; enable external (INT) interrupts


YourINTHandler:
put your code here . . . 
@  INT_RETURN

[cncmachineguy]

No need for interrupts here. First thing to know, outputs will stay in the state you make them until something makes them change. So no need for this:

loop:
High sonyled
Goto loop

all you need is
High sonyled. That will keep the led on forever if nothing tells it to turn off. Further in your code, you have trapped the program to never leave the loop.

Next, if you want to "toggle" the led everytime you get the valid pulse, use
Toggle sonyled instead of high sonyled.

Hth.

@ cncmachineguy
sir it doesnt work because
the led is high only when IRbutton is detected.... i want to keep it on forever ntil the next command without pressing the button...... is there any way?? maybe a function etc...???

@archangel
sir its difficult for me to understand it..the interrupt portion maybe if u could elaborate a little...
or could point me out to an exmaple program....
