DO...LOOP - What am I missing here?
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I just started...I have the Radio Shack version of "What's a
Microcontroller?" and a homework board with on board BS2.
Page 51 shows a simple program for flashing the led...
It uses a DO command and a LOOP command.
It does not work.
What is up with this?
I can't find these commands in the Programming Manual, or in the
index of the "What's a microcontroller?" manual.
Are these commands obsolete, changed, or am I stupid? Please email
me if you have a clue what is wrong here.

want the current version of PBasic 2.5. It's listed as a "beta test"
version, but that is just modesty. Download it and you'll find a lot of
improvements, including a language and processor manual under the help
button that is fully up to date and with many improved explanations from the
original as well.
Definitely worth the trouble. And that's where you'll find DO loops
explained.

process of updating the manual now and you'll be able to download it
shortly. The help file will always be the most current information
since it's the easiest to update and distribute. Make sure that you're
running Version 2.1 of our editor to have the latest.
