Code trouble

I would have to say your problem is using an "IF" statement inside the "FOR...NEXT" loop. Also you do realize the PAUSE 1 = 1mS and not 1s. I also noticed there is not main program loop, do you in fact what the program to stop once it has read the pulse width?

start:
counter = 0

loop:
counter = counter + 1
pulsin 4,1,pulsewidth
if pulsewidth >150 then
  gosub switch
  endif
if pulsewidth=0 then 
  gosub blink 
  endif
pulsin 4,1,pulsewidth
pause 1
if counter = (looptime - 1 ) then
  gosub wakeup
  endif
goto start

switch:
blah, blah, blah...
return

blink:
blah, blah, blah...
return

wakeup:
blah, blah, blah...
return

still doesn't work... i don't see what's the problem with mine. the program never gets to wakeup.

I got it to work...initially i though that the 1ms pause and i am doing a 10000 loop i would get about 10 seconds delay...but it turned out that this is not correct i would get about 56 seconds delay for 2700 loop not sure why it took so long to execute all these functions

All the other commands require processing time which can certainly add up over these kinds of execution times. I'm sure if you calculate how long each command take to process you will find your time is pretty close if not bang on. Especially is say one command take 1ms to process then you would have added 2.7s to the time right off the bat.
