Do I need a pause?

tazntex, What do you mean by this line?, if mydata1=%10101111 then high 0 'master relay turn on. What is "high 0"?

Good afternoon, Dave, mydata1=%10101111 is the data sent via the transmitter to the receiver, HIGH 0 is portb.0.

'73 Dave, thanks for the reply.

I've added a 250ms pause after high one and it seemed to be a little better, then I add a 500ms pause and it does not stick so much although this is not a cure.
oop3:
if mydata1=%01011001 then
high 1 'portb.1 is on
pause 500
else
low 1 'portb.1 is off
endif
GOTO loop

Loop2 does fine its just noticable in loop3. I thought there might me something with PICBASIC PRO 2.50, i've already installed the A patch and went there today and they have a 2.50b patch. I didn't see anything that might affect what I am trying to accomplish here. I know there are a lot of people here on this forum with much, much more experience with microcontrollers than I'll ever have. I have search time and again to see if anyone has had similar problems but have not not found anything revelant to this type. Certainly someone sees what I have missed. Thank you

tazntex, That is not the way you would access a port pin (atleast I have never done it that way), You should access it by the way of "portb.0" or referencing everything from porta.0. Just saying "HIGH 0" would lend me to believe it would be accessing porta.0. Also I see you are turning off all of port b by the syntax "if mydata1=%01010110 then portb=0 'master relay turn off". Is this what you want to do? Why not just use an alias for the relay output like "Relay var Portb.0". Then all you need to do is use the syntax "Relay = 0 or Relay = 1" I would investigate your use of the port syntax before I placed any pauses into the code....

Thank you Dave, an excellant suggestion. I will update my program to reflect on your advice. I will report back on how this worked out.

Ok, I have changed my program as recommend before but it is still doing the same. As I said earlier everything works the way I planned it BUT, every so often about the fourth or fifth time I press and release the tx button, the output selected will stay on instead of going back off and by datagood led is still lit so I am convinced mydata1 has not cleared. Like I said everything works great except when that little gremlin decides to pop up.

I have most likely spent more time on this than most people so I may take my sons advice and fix it, with a hammer

Tazntex , Can I please see a listing of the modified code?
