hello all,

i'm working on a project for work that needs to flash an led 30 times in 10 seconds when a button is pressed. I convinced my boss that the propeller was the perfect thing for this. i'm just having some problems with the programming. the hardware i can manage. this is the code i have so far. it works the first time the button is pressed but thats it. I know it is a simple piece of code. can anyone please help me.

pub toggle

repeat
if ina[noparse][[/noparse] 0 ] ==1
dira[noparse][[/noparse]4..9]~~
repeat until outa[noparse][[/noparse]9..4]++ == 60

waitcnt(clkfreq/6 + cnt)
dira~

Without being able to see indentation I cannot tell what your program is doing.
Have you read the tutorial and PE Kit Labs?· They come with the Propeller Tool.

dira[noparse][[/noparse]0]~      ' set as input
dira[noparse][[/noparse]1]~~     ' set as output
repeat
   repeat until ina[noparse][[/noparse] 0] == 1  ' wait for button
   repeat 60                 ' flash led
      !outa[noparse][[/noparse]1]               ' toggle LED pin
      waitcnt(clkfreq / 10 + cnt) ' wait a while

pong,

when you paste code into the forum, it's important to use the CODE tags so your indentation is preserved. Paste your code between

[noparse][[/noparse] code ]

and

[noparse][[/noparse] / code ]

except remove all the spaces I placed within the brackets.

 That way
    your code
       looks like this
