Do I need a pause?

[Archangel]

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about checking twice but I just wanted to check twice, the first brings me into this and the second does the if/then. I've taken this out and now I have:

IF mydata1=%01011001 THEN
HIGH 1
ELSE
LOW 1
ENDIF

I had a previous previous thread "else" which you help me on and it is all working but like I said before, I press a button on the tx ,the outputs being portb.0-6 on the rx , the momentary outputs 1-4 come on and when I release the button they go off. Every so often one stays on, check the selected output pin with scope and it is high, but if I press and release the same button for the output again it will go back low. I do not have a serial LCD but you mentioned using terminal, what do you mean using a PC??? If so, would you tell me how ?

Thanks

download realterm, works well, use a max 232 if needed, some nice kits on ebay for cheap,gets you a PCB, connector, caps and the max chip.
