Very very new to all programming.. I have read the entire PicBasic Compiler book and still do not even know where to start. I'm trying to configure a simple code to activate a solenoid.

The paintball gun trigger is a micro-switch, I need a code that would ...
After the swtich has been hit 8 time (activating the solenoid each time) the program would then jump to firing (activate the solenoid) 3 times which each trigger pull.

The problem I am having is when it fire the 3 burst the shots seem to delay. i am trying to achieve maxium rate of fire. Anyone have and ideas?

PLEASE HELP! ! !
