This is the code that works as I hoped it would: setfreq m8 symbol buzzer = c.4 symbol touchplate = c.1 symbol adjustpot = c.2 symbol touchval = w0 symbol adjval = w1 symbol lasttime = w2 symbol elapsedtime = w3 lasttime = time wait 4 for b5 = 1...

Thanks for your input @AllyCat . That`s what I like about this forum. Everyone who replies knows better ways of doing things than us "occasional" coders, and gives that advice freely and in a way that dosen`t make us feel like idiots. That`s rare on forums these days. Cheers, Marz.

Thanks you for help @Flenser . I hoped there was a better way than parallel programming. I`ll give it a try. Cheers, Marz.

Hi everyone. Haven`t been here for a while. Had a few health issues. Getting old SUCKS!. Anyway, I am working on a new project. The basic idea is to use a touch pad to set off a beeper when touched. That part is working. the part I need help with is I want to run a program in parallel that if...

The reciever part

I haven't posted in a while due to other commitments. Here are some pictures of where I am at. They are working so far but need to field test to see how they go.

My most used tool. Start high and keep turning until It does what it is supposed to

Lol @ibenson. I need 40 of them, so I will use up all the 20m`s I have left first :)

Thank you @hippy for your help. I got it all to fit using every byte. SYMBOL pulse_actual = W0 symbol pulse_to = W1 symbol pulsemove = w2 symbol height_to = b6 symbol battcheck = b7 symbol calbttns = b8 symbol fault = b.0 symbol bzzr = b.1 symbol out1 = b.2 symbol out2 = b.3 symbol out3 = b.4...

Thanks @hippy. I made the changes and it works well.

Here is the code: SYMBOL pulse_actual = W0 symbol height_to = b3 symbol pulse_to = W2 symbol pulsemove = w3 symbol fault = b.0 symbol bzzr = b.1 symbol out1 = b.2 symbol out2 = b.3 symbol out3 = b.4 symbol step_pulse = b.6 symbol direction = b.5 symbol enabl = b.7 symbol voltcheck = c.1 symbol...

Hello everyone. I have been working on a project for years, and have changed the mechanical side of my idea several times, trying to get the simplest way of getting them working with the least amount of parts. I have gone back to the original idea of using stepper motors, because they are now...

@AllyCat hopefully i will get to try some of these options in the next couple of days. Thanks for the ideas. Marz

Thanks for you input Hippy. Took a while to do th e scematic, so i ran out if time to try some of the suggestions. Hopefully in the next couple of days i will be sble to get bak to it, but unfortunately lifes priorities get in the way. Marz.

OK here is the schematic. I hope it isn't too hard to read. The PWM port and the input port are for later enhancements The stepper driver module is one of those generic driver modules for 3D printers. They are so cheap these days. Marz

@ Hippy i think there may be some confusion in how it is wired up. It is as you say on the high side of the Vreg between a diode and the battery. I havent put a scope on it, but i am using a stepper motor drawing about an amp, and i think that might be causing a voltage drop at the battery, even...

@ALLAN. Looks like i have a lot of reading to do. Extra pins is easy. I have 20m2's here so an sasy upgrade. I think i need to do a schematic so everyone can see what i have done, and i am far from an expert so it probably could be improved. What i lack in talent, i make up for with enthusiasm...

22K high side, 10K low side gives me 4.7V on the pin. I will try the cap when I get a chance. Marz.

@inglewoodpete Thanks. I`ll try that fist. Marz

Sounds like I will just have to use the normal serin then. I need the qualifier because there could be more than one of these systems in a small space. It was worth a shot @alan it is working except for the rem`d out interrupt which I think still needs work on the hardware end. With just a...
