1 Time using step pad

[jesmitty23]

This is my first attempt at using a step pad with a Prop-1. I'm sure it is something simple I am screwing up, such as wiring or what not. Its a basic 2 cord step pad.

Step pad is triggered then LED turns on and mister fires in intervals . Here is what I've tried

Is something wrong? I tried it on with a Trainer board and it seemed to work just fine.

Tip: You don't nee the PAUSE 30000 at the end of the program because it's already at the top. Change the GOTO Main at the end to GOTO Reset.

Do you have the step pad connected to P7.W and P7.R? If so, try using just a button in place of the step pad and see if that triggers the program. If that works, then you have a bad step pad.

I have it in the P7 and then the ground so maybe that is my issue. Do I need to just get a pin connector and hook it into the WRB pin 7?

If you're using P7 as the input, get a servo extender, cut it in half (save one half for another project), and then connect your step pad between the RED and WHITE wires. The code is written for this type of input -- and it's easiest as it doesn't require any modifications to the Prop-1.

I copied your code into the editor and changed the trigger to P6 so I could watch it work on a Trainer board. It ran fine.

Generally, I define Prop-1 pins like this:

P7 - reserve for serial IO with external devices like AP-16+
P6 - trigger input (usually active-high)
P5 - output for program
P4 - output for program
P3 - output for program
P2 - output for program
P1 - output for program
P0 - output for program
