Saving Variables

[Dwayne]

Hello Michael,

M>What I want to do is when both buttons are pushed have it save the value of the delay variable to the microcontroller, so that when the microcontroller is restarted it will load this value for the delay rather than having to reset it every time. If this is possible how would I write the code for it and include it in my project.<<

Well, you can save it in Eprom and load it from beginning. Here is a Psuedo code:

HoldVar Var byte
Button1 Var Port A.0
Button2 Var Port A.1

Read 0, HoldVar ;put EEprom in HoldVar

Loop:
if Button1=1 then
pauseus 100
If Button2=1 then
Write 0, HoldVar
HoldVar=HoldVar -1
Pause 100
endif
HoldVar=HoldVar+1
endif

if Button2=1 then
pauseus 100
If Button1=1 then
Write 0, HoldVar
HoldVar=HoldVar +1
Pause 100
endif
HoldVar=HoldVar-1
endif

Do whatever you want....
goto Loop

The Pauseus and Pause can be varied to a value that works for you...
I know there are other ways to do this *=} But have fun.
