hi ive made myself a simple flowchart which will become part of a bigger project but this is increments a count to 12 by each button press then when reaching 12 it decrements to 0 however when counting down past 10 i cant lose the 0, im sure there is a simple solution but ive yet to find it, can someone show me the errors of my ways please

cheers bob

Hi Bob,

You could either clear the LCD when you drop out of the first "until scan = 12" loop.

Or you could format the number so the value on the display is always 2 characters.

hi benj
as always thanks for the reply, ive tried both of your suggestions and found using the decision box in the second routine works fine, it seems such a simple solution but i couldnt find it thanks for the tip

cheers bob
