Hello Peterdeco1,

PC1>>high portb.0
pause 1000
low portb.0
pause 1000
let X = X + 001
if X >= 10 then XXXXXX
This program will flash an LED 10 times and jump to a different loop. However, is there a way, an EASY way, to substitute the last 2 lines with a "backround timer" that will automatically jump to XXXXXX after say 5 minutes or whatever regardless of what the PIC is currently doing?<<

Ouch.. this is called multi-tasking, and PICS do not multi-task. I was trying to think of something like the PWM, which can put out a signal while other things are goin on in the chip.

I would like to see if anyone comes up with a idea...
