program not looping

navyguy0521

Hi,

Sorry but my last posting must have been confusing.
Just trying to make this very simple program loop (repeat indefinitely)

Please tell exactly what to type at the end so this will happen.

Thank you very much.

LOOP

you should indent the lines between DO and LOOP

Enjoy!

Sorry but my last posting must have been confusing.

In my first response to you I showed you how to use GOTO. It must be followed by a label. The label must exist in the program. This information is available in the help file that is linked to the BASIC Stamp editor.

Main:
  HIGH 1
  PAUSE 100
  LOW 1
  PAUSE 10000

  HIGH 1
  PAUSE 100
  LOW 1
  PAUSE 10000

  HIGH 2
  PAUSE 200
  LOW 2
  PAUSE 10000

  HIGH 3
  PAUSE 200
  LOW 3
  HIGH 3
  HIGH 2
  PAUSE 100
  LOW 2
  PAUSE 10000
  HIGH 4
  PAUSE 100
  LOW 4
  PAUSE 10000
  HIGH 1
  PAUSE 100
  LOW 1
  PAUSE 10000
  HIGH 2
  PAUSE 100
  LOW 2
  PAUSE 10000
  HIGH 1
  PAUSE 100
  LOW 1
  PAUSE 10000
  HIGH 2
  PAUSE 100
  LOW 2
  PAUSE 10000
  HIGH 3
  PAUSE 100
  LOW 3
  HIGH 4
  PAUSE 100
  LOW 4
  HIGH 1
  PAUSE 100
  LOW 1
  PAUSE 10000

  HIGH 5
  PAUSE 100
  LOW 5
  PAUSE 500
  HIGH 1
  PAUSE 100
  LOW 1
  PAUSE 10000
  HIGH 1
  PAUSE 100
  LOW 1
  PAUSE 1000

  GOTO Main

Since you're new, let me give you another tip that will help you long term: As easy as it is to use the pin number directly, don't do this. Spend a few minutes naming the pins appropriate for the function they perform. This has two benefits: 1) The code is easier to read and maintain, and 2) If you have to re-wire your circuit, changing the PIN definition in one place makes things significantly cleaner.

As Mike pointed out, DO..LOOP is another structure that can be used for looping. For long stretches of code like yours, though, I think GOTO Label is better suited. Use DO..LOOP for small segments of code.

Thank you guys. Really appreciate it..

Here is another spin on it using the Gosub, I cut out the lenghty pauses and added a Debug so you can see it looping
