declaring variables

Rosthstl

Hi all; I'm new to this and having read What's a Microcontroller and searching the forums, I'm still stumped.
I have a basic stamp 2 with a serial 4x20 lcd. I've got the lcd to read and backlight etc. and I've got 2 led's
to light alternately. But, I cannot get the pin outputs to show on the lcd.
When led 1 lights, I want the lcd to read ' LED NUMBER·· *· IS ON'· when led 2 lights I want the number on the lcd to change reflecting the led change. I've tried IN1, OUT1, PIN1, IF THEN, If I define lednum as a CON then that is the only number that shows on the lcd. I've attached what I have already. Any help is appreciated.

You can't define lednum1 and 2 as constants and then treat them as variables. The stamp editor has a help file that will explain how to assign variables.

Thank you Stephen,
But, because led1 and led2 are output pins wouldn't they be constants? and lednum, because it changes, would be a Var.?
