variables and gosubs???

[SteveB]

So much for my fancy reply. Too slow.

Ahhhhhhh , I was really looking forward to it. My stab at it was just a down and dirty continuation of what Steve was getting at. We'll let Sayzer and Ryan weigh in on whether it worked for them.

[SteveB]

Steve,
ROFL, Great picture!

[mister_e]

Hehe, Rock and roll, DEVIL!

[sayzer]

I have a new teacher now!

Thanks for this simple and clear explanation SteveB.

I was expecting DT to come up with really complex explanations. heheh


--------------------------

[mister_e]

mmm... not complex Sayzer, let's say detailled.

[Darrel Taylor]

I was going more for ... Cool!

Well, since we don't need the explanation anymore, I'll leave it at this, since it's already done.

Cool indeed!!! You're going to have to share with us your posting techniques!

[Darrel Taylor]

Thanks guys,

You're going to have to share with us your posting techniques!

Piece of cake (with the right software).
Alt-Print Screen (windows XP, screen capture)
MS Paint to import and crop
Selteco Bannershop GIF animator. http://www.selteco.com/bannershop/
and about an hour creating 58 animation frames.

I'll have to try it again sometime.

Oh, Ta,
I see you added another question to post#13. Almost missed it.

and one more question, im trying to use this code to make a sort of clock.

i'm using the pins LOW to make the circuit, but i dont really want to use HIGH to stop the circuit, is there anway to just turn the pin off, like when the program is run at the start?
Thanks again

INPUT  PORTB.0

'  --- OR ---

TRISB.0 = 1

Either of those will return the pin to High-Impedance state.

HTH,

[sayzer]

Holy Gif!

DT, I can't believe you made it within half an hour!
What can I say? It is just as you said it was.




rhino,

I now see that you were in a different page then I was.

But, you had your answer and I had mine.


Thanks to all.

I enjoyed watching posts coming in and out, too.

Especially this last post by DT!

Yep... makes sense. After all of your responses and looking at the manual for BranchL...

...Index selects one of a list of Labels. Execution resumes at the
indexed Label. For example, if Index is zero, the program jumps to the
first Label specified in the list, if Index is one, the program jumps to the
second Label, and so on. If Index is greater than or equal to the
number of Labels, no action is taken and execution continues with the
statement following the BRANCHL.....(hence the RETURN)

I guess seeing that return in Darrel's code was throwing me off, but now it I see why it's in there. It looked to me like a way of nesting subroutines. Both of the Steves explainations of how the return address in the stack works answers one of the questions I didn't even ask.... scary! Thankyou all.
