Repeating actions

You have created your first procedure and tested it. Hopefully it switched on output 1 for one second. Procedures can be developed, tested and then developed further. The flash procedure can now be extended to flash 5 times.

Return to the editor by typing EDIT flash and press < Enter >. Now edit the procedure to add the lines shown in fig. 3. Press < Tab > to insert a line above the cursor.

When you have finished press < Esc > to close the procedure editor. Now type flash < Enter > to see the result.

How it works. The FOR NEXT lines form a loop. Any lines between the FOR and NEXT are repeated, in this case 5 times.

Try making the light flash for 10 times.
