pROBLEM WITH bOEbOT wHISKER AND led TEST

NWUpgrades

I just received my BoeBot today and I am not sure, but I believe there may be a problem with the board. After testing and checking all wire and resistor connections I am having the following problem: I can not get either of the LED's to light up when the whiskers are pressed against the 3 piece contacts. When I run the Whiskers program on the screen, I see P5 and P7 change from 1 to 0 when pressed.

If I modify the program to place a 1 where the 0 goes, the LED's come on, but when the whiskers are·pressed they do not shut off. Any suggestions? I have traced every resistor and wire, and they all are correctly installed.

' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}

IF (IN7 = 1) THEN
HIGH 1
ELSE
LOW 1
ENDIF

IF (IN5 = 1) THEN
HIGH 10
ELSE
·LOW 10
ENDIF

You probably want a loop around the whole thing. As it is, it will have a single state (the initial state) and won't change from that.

As a side note, your title might be more readable if you use normal capitalization. You can always edit your post to fix it...

This is exactly how the book has it. Am I missing something? Page 177 in the BoeBot manual. I have to get this going before I go any further so as to make sure everything works as it is suppose to.

Look at the line right above the code on page 177:

"[noparse][[/noparse]check] Insert these two IF....THEN statements between the PAUSE 50 and LOOP commands."

The rest of the code appears to be on page 172-173.

I got it. That's what I get for running on 3 hours sleep!!! Thanks for the help.
