BS2 editor doesn't like PIN Keyword

McRat

Greetings, first stupid question time~!!

I have the Pro Dev Board with a BS2 in it.· I could not get the USB driver to work (not unusual for this computer), so I'm interfaced on the RS232.· I can communicate with board now.

I am running the BS Editor 2.2.6 and typed in the first practice project (StampWorks EXP1, pg26):

[noparse][[/noparse]code]
' {$STAMP BS2}

'

---

set var for pin0

---

······· AlarmLed··PIN···· 0······ '
'

---

set delay const

---

·······
······· FlashTm·· CON···· 500····· '
·······
Main:
········· HIGH AlarmLed
········· PAUSE FlashTm
········· LOW AlarmLed
········· PAUSE FlashTm
········· GOTO Main
[noparse][[/noparse]/code]

However this will not pass syntax checking.· It chokes on the PIN keyword, expecting a : symbol.· The example code does not use one, nor will adding one stop the error.

If I change the PIN to CON, the experiment works great, and I can control the LED:

[noparse][[/noparse]CODE]
' {$STAMP BS2}
······· AlarmLed· CON···· 0······ '
······· FlashTm·· CON···· 500····· '
······· Main:
········· HIGH AlarmLed
········· PAUSE FlashTm
········· LOW AlarmLed
········· PAUSE FlashTm
········· GOTO Main
[noparse][[/noparse]/code]

Is there a specific reason to use PIN, and if so, what am I doing wrong?

You need to use PBASIC 2.5.
Click on the icon that looks like a gear with "2.5" in front of it.
Or add this to the top of your program

' {$PBASIC 2.5}
