detecting switch release.

Thank you for the responses. I now have a functioning routine and everything is working perfectly.

On to the next issue: how to display text on an LCD from a word or byte.

Have you seen the LCDOUT command?

Yes sir I use it all the time.

I am trying to display a couple of different messages depending on the values of 2 variables.

This is exactly what I want to happen but I dont think you can store strings in variables like this. At least not in 2.60A.

If Latch = 0 then LATCH1 = "MO"
endif
IF LATCH = 1 then
LATCH1 = "MA"
endif
IF DIM = 0 then
DIM1 = "OFF"
endif
IF DIM = 1 then
DIM1 = "DIM 1"
endif
IF DIM = 2 then
DIM1 = "DIM 2"
endif
IF DIM = 3 then
DIM1 = "BOOST"
endif

LCDOUT $FE, 2 LATCH1, " ", DIM1

I cannot put all the combinations into if then loops which include the LCDOUT routine as it takes too long to run through the loop and the timer does not update on the display every second. It actually updates every 3 seconds.

Might help you out.
