Main program direction

Brian Carpenter

here is the current main menu

Main:
· GOSUB ADCChip
· GOSUB Memsic
· GOSUB Level
· GOSUB MotorVoltage
GOTO Main

but i only want it to do MotorVotage every 6th time through the cycle.· Any ideas?

Embed a Counter in the "Level" subroutine such that it increments with each pass through "Level." Test for If Counter<5, GOTO Main. Zero Counter in "Motorvoltage." Program flow should be Main->ADCChip->Memsic->Level->Main for 5 iterations, then Main->ADCChip->Memsic->Level->MotorVoltage->Main for the sixth, at which point Counter will be re-zeroed, and the cycle will repeat.

Here's how I do that:

Main:
· DO
····cycles =·cyles + 1 // 6
··· GOSUB ADCChip
·· ·GOSUB Memsic
·· ·GOSUB Level
····IF (cycles = 0) THEN
····· GOSUB MotorVoltage
··· ENDIF
· LOOP

The // (modulus) operator is vastly underutilized, and I find it much cleaner that IF-THEN logic for things like this.· Using // as I have above will force cycles to count from 0 to 5 and wrap back around.
