Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to do the equivelant of a pulsin (PICBasic or the Basic Stamp) using Flowcode. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Marty

Hello,

What exactly does pulsein do?

I would assume if it is getting the logic level of a pin then you can do this by using the input icon in single bit mode.

Otherwise if the function is a wait until high or wait until low then you can do this by using a switch component and using the component macros "waituntilx".

Ben,

Basically pulsin mesauress serial pulse width.

What we need to be able to do is read the pulse width or frequency of a sensor.

Here is a link to an example sensor:

Page 130 on the link below describes the pulsin function in PICBasic pro:
