A weekend BASIC Stamp project

My project for this weekend was to create a “bouncing LED” display with the BASIC Stamp microcontroller.

After picking up some more 470-ohm resistors and extra red LEDs at EPO on Friday, I got around to it and finished everything in about half an hour today.

Here’s a video (DivX). I wish I had some blue LEDs instead of red, but EPO only had red, yellow, green, and white.

heh, that as my award winning project in high school electronics back in oohh, nevermind. Anyhow, I used a 555 since we didn’t have basic stamps back then.

Could you help me write some program code for the Basic Stamp??

Write a program with the following devices:
An active-High LED on P9 (LED1)
An Active-High LED on P8 (LED2)
An active-High PB on P0 (PB1)
Servo on P13

Program the controller to loop continuously and perform the following:
- At run, the LED will be off and the servo will be fully CW.

- When the PB is pressed, the LED will blink 10 times at a rate of once per second.
- After the 10 blinks, the servo will move fully CCW and LED2 will turn on.

- When the button is released the servo will move back to CW immediately and
both LEDs will be off.

- Repeat if pressed again.

No, I’m sorry, I won’t do your homework for you.
