I can't get WRLONG to work right (fixed)

Bean

Okay, I'm still working on my assembly blinkLED routine.
In the spin code you set a blinkDelay and a blinkCount and then set the blinkDone to 0,
then it wait for blinkDone to be 1.

The asm in the code waits for blinkDone to be zero, then reads the parameters and blinks the LED.
then it sets blinkDone to 1 to signal that it's done.

It seems my code is setting blinkDone to something non-zero, but not the value I want. Because even if I change the value (I think) is getting written to zero, it still works and it shouldn't.

Any ideas·what I'm doing wrong ?

Bean.

Have you tried using a literal at that line? _Long1 is never changed and is only used once

looking a little closer, it looks good except it falls through the :waitthere loop when blinkdone is set to zero

What does it do when it "isn't working"?

maybe Repeat while blinkdone == 0 instead?

When I write zero it should keep blinking, and the spin code should get hung-up at the "REPEAT UNTIL blinkDone <> 0" line.
Originally I was trying to write "1", and the spin code was "REPEAT UNTIL blinkDone = 1" and that would never happen.
It seems I am writing a non-zero value no matter what value I THINK I'm writing.
I get an error if I try "WRLONG #1,_cntTime"

the tricks and traps thread says that the _long1 long 1 line has to go before the res lines, maybe that will fix it, if I had my propstick already, I would test it, but UPS is dragging their feet
