Blink without the pause command

[Jerson]

I want to blink a LED without the pause command because I want to do other things and not stop the entire loop every time the LED blinks.

Without the pause command the code could look something like this:

count_on var byte
count_off var byte
pause_led var byte

count_on = 0
count_off = 0
pause_led = 5000

main:
if count_on = 0 then
high portb.0
endif

if count_on != pause_led
count_on = count_on + 1
endif

if count_on = pause_led then
low portb.0

count_off = count_off + 1

if count_off = pause_led then
count_on = 0
count_off = 0
endif

endif

goto main:

I can suggest (without interrupts) the following

counter:  var   word
Led:        var   PortB.0

counter =0
main:   if counter < HalfSecondValue then
            counter=counter+1  ' increment the counter
         else
            counter = 0
            Led = !Led      ' toggle every half second
         endif
         '  do whatever you have to do here
        ....
        ....
        goto main           ' go back to the top

Here, HalfSecondValue is something you will have to determine either by counting the machine cycles or experimentally(easier)
