Thanks again. I think I am on track now.

I copy/pasted your Do Loop into the clockwise subroutine (replacing everything that was there. It worked as you said it would. Making both B.2 and C.2 low allows the motor to coast to a stop, so I changed them both to be high, which brakes the motor (a function of the H-bridge chip I am using.)...

I am building a project that involves controlling a small DC gear motor with an SIRC remote via a 14M2 and an H-bridge. For the most part, I can get the code to do what I want, but I have one problem that I have not been able to solve. There is a set of dry contacts in the motor gear train that...

@inglewoodpete As best I can tell, the problem was a poor solder joint on the wire connecting SW2 to pinC.3. After doing the sertxd testing you suggested, I tried that highly sophisticated test called "wiggling the wires" and found that I could move the C.3 wire one way and the problem...

I cancelled an activity in order to perform the testing. I do see that the program restarts over and over while C.3 is high. No such restarts are taking place while C.1 or C.4 is high. I have a 1N4001 and .02uF cap across the motor terminals. I will do some research to see if I can find more info.

Thanks. I will try that tonight or tomorrow and post the results.

Further testing this morning has shown that the problem is connected to C.3, which will run the motor with a 999 duty cycle but not with 998 or anything less. C.1 and C.4 have not shown any problem with duty cycles down to 299 (or maybe lower.) Thanks for all input.

Thanks for the response. Actually, the low speed works fine, as does the fast speed. It's the medium speed which won't turn the motor. I am truly perplexed. Ignore this post and read post number 4.

Attached is the code and the schematic for my 12V motor controller. When I press the button on C.1, the motor runs fast, and when I press the button on C.4, the motor runs slowly, and when no buttons are pressed, the motor stops. That's all good, but when I press the button on C.3, the motor...

I have not yet needed to write a do while command with two conditions until now. The format I am using seems correct, compiles, but doesn't seem to execute. do while b4 > b5 and b4 > b6 I am using symbols to represent storage byte variables b4, b5, and b6. The do loop consists of three...

I have a project that requires that I control a DC motor through an H-bridge based on the setting of five switches. The code seems to work well until it hits the gosub watch_sgs, but then hangs. I don't understand what is different, i.e., why the prior gosub calls work and this one doesn't...

This thread seems to be about all things ESP, so hopefully my question won't be seen as hijacking. I have done quite a lot of experimenting with ESP8266 modules, especially the ESP-01. I want to add an external antenna to an ESP-01, and did so as seen in the photograph below. (I know that there...

I am using an 08M2 and serout to send AT commands to another device. My hope is to be able to send an AT command from Pin C.4 to the external device, and then use serin on Pin C.2 to capture the OK response from the external device. I have sertxd setup to send the contents of the two registers...

Is it possible to control the Restore Down size of PE6? I notice that if I manually resize the restore down size, it stays that size for the remainder of that session, but after exiting and restarting PE6, it's back to the default size. At least, I would like to be able to set the default...

In using WinAXEpad, with a standard (not USB) serial cable and a standard (10k, 22k) programming circuit, I notice that there is a "Test" function. (Options, Port, Test, choose radio button) Through experimentation, I found that the result of my radio button choice affected the Serial In lead...
