Hi guys, I just discovered the EzSBC1 a couple of weeks ago and am impressed with its capabilities so far. For years I used Parallax stamps because of the ease I found by using BASIC as the programming language which goes WAAAY back to my VIC-20 and C-64 days!. Control BASIC is similar enough for me to pretty much figure out except for a couple of commands I had used in the past. I am trying to write a fairly simple program for the EzSBC1 where when any one of a dozen buttons is pressed a given LED goes HI and the program is totally halted till the button is released, whereas the LED then goes LO and the program continues it's routine. To simply poll buttons and turn on LEDs. I can have only one button pressed and the appropriate LED HI at any given time. I would be using the LED's HI signals to run opto-relays in conjunction. My question: since I'm new to the Command BASIC language, is there a command similar to the stamp's PBASIC POLL and INX to use or a simple subroutine to accomplish this task? Thanks, Djough
