Make 2 thing in the same time ?

Podion

Hello,

I have a BS2 and I what to know if it's possible to make a LED flashing at the same time that a servo is running ?

My project is to make my boe-bot running forward and make a LED flash in continuos at te same time. I what the LED never stop flashing even if the bot is running or stop. Is that possible to run tow different command at the same time?

The BS2 can only process one command at a time. If all you need is a flashing LED, consider a blinking LED such as this: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062553 HTH!

Is there any other basic stamp who can execute 2 or more command at the same time ?

You can do what you want with the BS2. In the 20 ms between pulses to the servo, you can use a counter to count down to the next LED output transition. When the count reaches zero, toggle the LED pin and reinitialize the counter.

Do you have an example for that ? I'm not sure haw to do this. Do I have to make another counter in the servo commande line ?

a:for count=1 to 100' for/next loop sets flash frequency
pulsout 1,850 'servo 1
pulsout 2,850 'servo 2
pause 20
next
toggle 3' LED on pin 3
goto a
