New to this forum, Have a question.

Hello,

Brand new to this site, been spending some time here and I have to say the posts I have read, are loaded with great info.

I am working on a project, just to get down the basics,

In the book I have they give you a project for the reaction timer game, one bi-polar led and when it turns green, you release the button for a time reaction read out.

I tweaked the program, so that if the timeout is < 1 i get a debug that tells the user they must wait till the red light turns green, then it loops for them to try again.

I also added 3 leds to the game and a piezo.

so if you fault on red,·· a red led blinks several times and the peizo goes off.

if the user gets a time > 100 ms a yellow led lights before the program loops

and if the user gets a reaction time < 100 ms a green led will light up.


My problem,

Is there a quick code that basicly states

" if timecounter is less then 100 BUT more then·1 THEN ? "

····· DEBUG " your time was " , DEC timecounter,
····· " ms ", CR, CR,
····· " To play again, hold the " , CR,
····· " button down again ", CR, CR
····· ENDIF

··· LOOP

The highlighted one is the one in question.

It works!· but the bug is, if you fault on red, Red's line of code will run " the red led and peizo " but after it's line, it see's the green led is coded for <·100 as well and triggers the green led before looping to the beginning.


Thanks in advance for your time

Kyle

Kyle,

·· You should try attaching your code in the future...That was very difficult to read being all centered like that.· As an attachment it could be loaded into the editor.· Or you could just paste the section where you're trying to get help and use the CODE button to preserve the formatting.· It looks like a # sign.· Take care,
