My first program. Not working

[Capt.Chaos]

Well,
   I received my prop 1 and i just cant seem to get it. I tried to run a program to light a LED for 1 sec on pin 0,pause then run a LED on Pin 2 for 1 sec. I got it to run on pin 0 but nothing else. Could you please show me the program and thn expain how to make it run continuous.

Thanks
Chaos

Post the program that you tried and someone can help you out from there, this way you'll be able to see exactly what you may have done wrong.

Also, have you seen this?

Here's one way to accomplish what you want.  Programming is flexible, and there are many ways to accomplish the same thing

Thanks. Im starting to get te hang of this...kinda. Anyway, how would you program the prop 1 to randomly wiggl a door handle. In other words, I plan on hooking up a cylinder to wiggle a handle like someone is trying to open it but it's locked. There has to be a way besides alot of high/low codes.
Thanks

You may want to look a this thread on RANDOM lottery here http://www.efx-tek.com/php/smf/index.php?topic=1532.0  But, I would also suggest you look at the Basic Stamp Editor help file which will show you more about the RANDOM command and how it's used.

Well, let me give you a hint about using the forums (grin): one topic/prop/project per thread.  Please post your handle wiggle request in a new thread.  By doing this -- and using descriptive subject lines -- the forums are easier for all of us to search (especially important when we're going fast-and-furious trying to get props working).
