How do I say this COMMAND?

bobsmith

I want my code to say if in1 = 1 for 2seconds then goto mode1

Newzed

Try this:

if in1 = 1 then
pause 2000
if in1 = 1 then mode1

endif

Let me add a bit to Sid's suggestion:

Wait_For_2Sec: 
  timer = 0
 
Check_Input: 
  IF IN1 = 0 THEN Wait_For_2Sec
  timer = timer + 1 
  PAUSE 50 
  IF timer < 40 THEN Check_Input

This version looks at the input every 50 milliseconds to make sure that the input hasn't been released then repressed during the delay period.· It forces the button to be pushed for two seconds (40 x 50 ms·= 2000 ms) before moving on.

Mr. Jon Williams will what the guy before said work?

if in1 = 1 then
pause 2000
if in1 = 1 then mode1

endif

Depends on your definition of "work." What Sid's demo does is wait for the input, waits two seconds, then checks it again. Since the Stamp can't look at inputs while it's doing a PAUSE instruction, the input could be released, then reengaged and you'd never know it. Now, you said you wanted the input to be active·for 2 seconds. My version is a refinement of Sid's that, techically, could suffer the same fate, though it's far less likely that a user could release and repress the button inside a 50 millisecond window.

ya just to give a better view on this to you what i want to do is:

Hold the microswitch in for 2 seconds
when it is held in for 2 seconds it goes into mode1

If you mean two consecutive seconds without release, then my version (or derivative of it) is what you're looking for.
