    Free 9v Duracell coppertop batteries

    I live in a rental property in Australia, and every year some contactor guy comes and replaces my smoke alarm battery. When he gave it to me the voltage read 10.11v (I think). After shorting it for a few seconds the voltage dropped to 9.6v, and is now hanging around at that voltage after...

    Can I leave out the serial plug?

    If I'm making a run of devices*, and none of the people that will have the devices will be re-programming the chip, I figure I can just program the chips on my prototype, then leave out the plug on the other devices. The question is, how do I tie down the serial-in pin when there's no plug...

    step over and simtask using collapsing code blocks

    Just some thoughts that would make it easier for beginners like me. Desired Feature: I use code blocks a lot to help me focus on the important bit I'm working on, but every time you run the sim they are all left expanded at the end. It would be nice if they reverted back to the way they were...

    One Gosub with multiple Returns - sometimes it runs sometimes not

    I have some code that runs sometimes and sometimes halts with Error msg - "Return without GoSub". It runs perhaps 19 out of 20 times (those numbers are just a guess) The problem is I'm not sure if I can use return like this. I can get around it, but I'd like to know for future reference if...

    When to use Goto and not Do While/Until

    Is it best practice to use a GoTo in this situation? Or should this be in another Do loop in some form? I guess the question is, If there is nothing conditional, is a GoTo ok? Main: Gosub Init ' populate some variables Continue: ' Do until pin3 = 1 ' ' Add the rest of your...

    Mode button, select code section to run with a button - no interrupt

    I couldn't find this and needed it, so I thought I'd share it now that it's done. It's my first public post of finished code so please excuse anything odd. It allows a user to hold down a momentary switch until an LED indicates the switch has been recognised, then release the switch to change...

(I'm 44yo as well just to make things worse) My first projects...
