Hi Hippy, Ah the third switch should be connected to pin 2! now it works!!!! I assumed it went on pin 5, it’s the novice confusion of output numbers versus pin numbers. Thanks to all those that replied to my request, all very much appreciated. I’ll put it all into a box and get back to you...

Spot on RNovember, that’s all there is to it. Could you code that for me please, Dan

Small error, the capacitor (100nf) from pin 1 does go to ground not supply, drawing error 😞

Terrific RN you got it !!!!!! What the teacher does with the result is up to them. Thank you Thank you Many double happy’s Dan 🤗😋👍

Just thought i’d check how the switch on output 2 should be connected. The usual way of 10K resistor from output 2 (pin 5) to ground and then the normally open switch from the same pin 5 to supply? Or is it different because output 2 is not normally used as an input. Circuit drawing attached...

Hi Hippy and others, I have been asked to make the hardware to to hold the illuminated push buttons etc. 1 am 72 and to learn the code to write the program at my age is daunting. So it would be appreciated if you or the guys could write a working version as per my previous reply as to how it...

I doesn’t matter if the wrong button is pushed the same corresponding single LED lights. The teacher notes that the student didn’t copy the number pattern that she did, E.G. the teacher pressses the numbered 1,2,3 buttons in the following order. 3,1,2,3,1, 3 then the student is asked to repeat...

Hi Guys, I agree with no bells and whistles at this stage, so i’ll go through again what the centre wants as a memory aid for the children. Using the O8M+ PICAXE chip. Number 1 momentary push button switch is pressed and the corresponding LED illuminates and stays on ( the LED inside the PB...

You mean the Word Disconnect after “pause 500”, yes I did include it. I copy and paste the programmes in. Cheers Dan

Still using the 08M2 PICaxe, cheers Dan

Hi Rn, I appreciate your writing the code but in simulation it comes up with errors. I’m not knowledgeable enough to debug it. Could have another look please, cheers Dan

Hi Matchbox, I have tried the first version of your code. Switches 1 & 2 activate LED’s 1 & 2 correctly. I connected switch 3 to pin 5 and supply and a 10k resistor to ground. I presume it should light the LED on output 0 but it doesn’t, it just flashes the LED on output 2. Your help would be...

Hi Ally Cat, Interesting additions you suggested. They could be incorporated in the MK11 version. Only needs the chip swapping over I guess. The flashing reward at the end is good, I will suggest it. But i’ll get the simpler version going first. Have copied the three programs into three...

Thanks very much Hippy.
