Can you use the button command to count the length of time for a button being pressed?· I want to be able to count when a button is pressed for 3 seconds.· Is this possible?

pBASIC

Insert

· DEBUG DEC timer, CR

... where you want to see the timer value.· Note that if you put this in the loop you will affect the loop timing (slow it down a·bit)·as DEBUG takes time to operate.

mines Better

' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}
StartBtn PIN 3
timer VAR Byte
minute VAR Byte
minute = 60
Main:
DO : LOOP UNTIL (StartBtn = 1)
PAUSE 1050
timer = timer + 1
DEBUG CLS
DEBUG ? timer
IF timer = 60 THEN GOTO subtract
GOTO main
subtract:
timer = timer - minute
GOTO main

Better than what? Clearly you misunderstand that adding DEBUG to the loop increases the loop timing instead of decreasing it as your PAUSE 1050 loop delay would indicate.
