So if you press and hold the switch for ten seconds, you'll get a count of (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | Steve, this is the third time you have helped me, and this time you obviously spent a lot of time working out the alternatives. First of all, the Wait (DELAY); in my inept code was not to flash every half second. It was to prevent additional counts (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | I want to thank everyone who helped with the double problem of switch de-bouncing and that loops can often count continuously while the switch is in actuation. There were good suggestions about removing delays from the code and 'counting' upon (...) (24 years ago, 4-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)
