Random Function using index

userjyjy

I'm working on a project where i need my seven seg to act as a dice and to randomize. I can't seem to figure out how to use the random function with the index. I currently have a button controlling the seven seg. When I press and hold it currently counts from 0 to 9 whenever i release it stops on whatever number it is.

Here is my code

"' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}
index VAR NIB

DO
DEBUG ? IN0
IF (IN0 = 1) THEN
OUTH = %00000000
DIRH = %11111111
FOR index = 0 TO 9
DO
LOOKUP index , [ %11100111, %10000100, %11010011,
%11010110, %10110100, %01110110,
%01110111, %11000100, %11110111, %11110110 ], OUTH
DEBUG " ", DEC2 index, " ", BIN8 OUTH, CR
PAUSE 1000
LOOP UNTIL IN0=1
NEXT
DIRH = %00000000
ENDIF
LOOP "

the random instruction seems to not be working with it.

Try this:

 ' {$STAMP BS2}
 ' {$PBASIC 2.5}
 index VAR NIB
 result VAR WORD
 
 DO
  RANDOM result
  DEBUG ? IN0
  IF (IN0 = 1) THEN
   OUTH = %00000000
   DIRH = %11111111
   DO
    RANDOM result
    index = result//10
    LOOKUP index , [ %11100111, %10000100, %11010011,%11010110, %10110100, %01110110,%01110111, %11000100, %11110111, %11110110 ], OUTH
    DEBUG " ", DEC2 index, " ", BIN8 OUTH, CR
    PAUSE 1000
   LOOP UNTIL IN0=1
   DIRH = %00000000
  ENDIF
 LOOP

Thank you so much man. That worked. One last question. What instruction would I use to count how long the button is pressed? Would it be a counter?

Yes, a variable that you increment each time after the Pause would count how long the button is pressed.

what if i need the random to be high for only 12 seconds?
