HI!

I AM NEW ON BASIC STAMPS

REMEMBER THE BNT_JUKE.BAS PROGRAM ON THE BASIC STAMP MANUAL?

WELL, IM YUST TRYING TO ADD A SECOND BUTTON TO SCROLL DE LED'S IN THE
OTHER DIRECTION, SO I CAN HAVE ONE BUTTON FOR UP AND OTHER FOR DOWN.

I TRY BUT THE ONLY THING I CAN GET IS , WHEN I PRESS ANY OF THE
BUTTONS, THE LED'S SCROLL SO FAST AND LIKE CRAZY.

SOME ONE WITH MORE EXPERIENCE ON THIS CAN HELP ME?

THANKS..

I'm not familiar with the piece of code you refer to, however, you
could slow things down with a pause statement. Something like this:

X = 0
LOOP:
IF IN1 = 0 THEN UP_COUNT 'in1 = switch
GOTO LOOP

UP_COUNT:
PAUSE 300 'THIS WILL SLOW THINGS DOWN A BIT
X = X + 1
GOTO LOOP

Pardon my lack of sophistication, I'm certain there is a more elegant
way of doing this, but the PAUSE 300 ( the 300 = 300 milliseconds, or
about 1/3 second) statement will slow things down a bit. Experiment
with the PAUSE statement, try it in different places until you get
the desired button action.

Good Luck
