Unable to turn off "Button" command's autorepeat

SimEnzo

I'm using a BS2sx that came assembled and am trying to use the button command with autorepeat turned off. The Button command is working with the exception that it does the repeat.

Here's the code:

BUTTON ConveyorBtn1, 1, 255, 100, btnWrk, 1, CvyBtn1Click

In that code ConveyorBtn1 is set to a PIN and btnWrk is a BYTE variable. Again, it works, but does the auto-repeat despite the third argument being set to 255. I've also tried setting that parameter to 0, but it still repeats.

Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Ethan -

What kind of input device is providing the switch closure? What you may be seeing is a lack of de-bouncing rather than auto-repeat.

I'm using a microswitch that comes with an illuminated arcade button (bought from Happ Controls).·I did play around with the various bounce & autorepeat settings, oo no avail.

I think I know the source of my problems (it occurred to me on my drive into work)--I'm sharing the byte workspace variable among several different buttons.· Having given it some consideration, I suppose the work space variable has data that is supposed to persist between cycles, and I need to have a different variable dedicated to each "button" command.

Ethan,

·· You should never share the work variables among other buttons.· That is most likely what is causing your problem.
