    With my wire and duct tape, and your BFH, we can do anything! HA

    I understand your analogy about the car owners manual vs. an engine overhaul manual, and you are right....but, Look at the attched pic for an exaple of what I'm talking about though. When I wanted to use EEPROM, that is the example in the datasheet for my chip. I guess that's assembly language? It don't look anything like that in my program. It almost makes sense in PBP. :-) Would be nice if they offered examples in the common languages. I like stuff like "Read, Write, If, Then" that makes sense. I mean no disrespect. I'm just whining cause I'm a rooky an don't really understand what's under the hood! ;-)

    Did anyone read the links up in post#32?
    If you did here is another.

    I agree, the manual is not written for people using basic.
    Maybe you are reading the wrong manual

    If/when you run across stuff from Melanie, save it. Always good instructions.

    That's why RTFM is such a common answer to a lot of problems. PBP handles all that low level eeprom stuff for you.
    You'll find that PBP can handle a lot of low level stuff for a lot of things. And a lot of things that aren't handled by PBP, can more than likely be found on the forums...practically prewritten. Once you get used to it, it's all good..

    And I like twine, duct tape, bubble gum, JB Weld...

    ...twine, duct tape, bubble gum...

    Speaking of which I am using Blutak and I do not like this plasticine at all. I think it is disgusting. Unfortunately I have not found another method of connecting the ldr to the cam....

    I am using blutak now and a suitable resistor forming the voltage divider. It is working well enough by using a simple I/O-Pin.

    I am proceeding here.
