Programming an 08M2 in Logicator

Hi there,

I'm trying to program an 08M2 but keep getting the message "Decision Command Error: Input 5 can only be used after a disconnect".

Is there something really obvious that I've missed?

Many thanks,

Paul

I'm trying to program an 08M2 but keep getting the message "Decision Command Error: Input 5 can only be used after a disconnect".
Input 5 is also the Serial In pin so using that as a digital input can make things more complicated than they may need to be.

If you have an alternative input pin you can use instead that would be the easiest solution.
 
You need to use the 'Disconnect' cell as your first cell after the 'Start' cell. I think it's in the 'Advanced' section.

After doing this, you will need to remember to perform one of the actions shown on the web page for the Disconnect command in order to reprogram the PICAXE.
Spot on! The 'Disconnect' command is in the 'Advanced' menu and it worked. Thank you so much. Thanks too to Hippy but I really did need to use 5 inputs on the 08M2 so had to use input 5.
