About PIN

Hi,
I am totally new to Basic Stamp. So I tried out the experiment #1 straight from the manual:-
' {$STAMP BS2}
' {PBASIC 2.5}
AlarmLed PIN· 0
FlashTm· CON 500
Main:
· HIGH AlarmLed
· PAUSE FlashTm
· LOW·AlarmLed
· PAUSE FlashTm
· GOTO Main

But what I dont understand is that I got an error message "EXPECTED : OR END OF LINE" ·at the PIN keyword, can anybody help me?
Thanks
·

tawfek-

All PBASIC Compiler directives MUST begin with a $ and be encased in curley bracket. Please replace the PBASIC directive to look like this:

' {$PBASIC 2.5}

Thanks for pointing that to me.

One way to avoid errors on the directives in the future is to use the toolbar or menu to insert them for you.· On the toolbar there are icons that look like pictures of BASIC Stamp Modules.· These are the Stamp Directives.· There are also 3 that say 1.0, 2.0 and 2.5 which are the PBASIC directives.· If you use these the Editor will "type" them for you.· I hope this helps.· Take care.
