Controlling the LED blinker help!

Dear list,

Does anyone have the book Programming and Customizing the Basic Stamp Computer.
I need help with page 83, Controlling the LED Blinker. When I turn the switch on
the led blinks, but when I turn it off the LED stays lit 75% of the time and not
lit 25% of the time. I check my circuit wiring and program and they were both
exactly the same as the book. I have a BS2SX on an activity board with an app
module plugged into it containing my circuit. Please help.

    Dear Stampers,
    Heres the code from the book:

    again:
    if in0 = 1 then again
    toggle 7
    PAUSE 200
    goto again

    And the schematic is in the files section of this webgroup and it's
    called:LED Trouble Schematic.

    Please respond. I need help with this.

    Hi,

    It looks like the design will have LED will stay in whatever state (on or
    off) it was when the switch is turned off. Is this what you are
    experiencing?

    Regards,
    Daniel

    Dear Daniel and Stampers,

    Yes, that is exactly what's happening. When I turn the switch to the
    off position it stays in whatever state it was in before I flipped
    the switch. Can you please respond and tell me how I could fix this
    problem. Thank You

    You could try:


    start:
    low 7
    if in0 = 1 then start
    alternate:
    toggle 7
    pause 200
    if in0 = 0 then alternate
    goto start

    Daniel
