[John Bachman] spake unto the ether:

/* A simplified program to figure out what is wrong */

long time;

void start()
{
       phony();

       void phony() /*  Line 9 syntax error is reported here */
       {
       while (digital(2) == 1)
                      {
time = mseconds();
}
       }
}

When I try to load it with IC I get a syntax error on line 9.  Can anyone tell me why?

You have the definition of phony() nested inside the definition
of start().  I don't know what ANSI C and/or C++ let you do, but this is
invalid IC.  You need something like:

long time;

void start()
{
phony();
}

void phony()
{
while (digital(2)==1)
{
time = mseconds();
}
}

Of course, somewhere you will need a main() to call start().

Thanks for all the helpful device but the darned thing still does not work. I have created a simplified program to try to figure out what I am doing wrong. Here it is: /* A simplified program to figure out what is wrong */ long time; void start() { (...) (25 years ago, 13-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
