Blink problem

bluejay

Would somebody please tell me why when I turn a simple led on my Stamp2 blink blinks every few seconds? Is it a common problem? Can I put a code to stop it on my initial program? This problem does not occur when there is a loop in the coding. I would appreciate a response.

Your program is going into sleep mode. The Stamp wakes up every couple of seconds and pins that are set as outputs briefly (~18ms) change to inputs.

You can put a STOP command at the end of your program and it will keep running. Or a program loop
DO : LOOP
It won't go to sleep.

Thanks Tracy. Someone suggested that I add this coding which also works.

'example

HIGH 15
The_end
GOTO The_end

That will not work as typed. This, however, does:

HIGH 15
blazes:
GOTO blazes

That little colon identifies any alphanumeric string as a label.
