Correct.

P4 is the START Button
P5 is the STOP Button

I have a template I'll be uploading later tonight or tomorrow that has all
the corrections and some suggestions, tips, etc.  The problem is... there
were some typos in the first few pieces of code put online and then folks
just started using them as templates and kept repeating the same mistakes.
Sorry about that.  The AUX port is protected.  I know a lot of the code
shows it as digital I/O and unbuffered.  The REV1.0b boards had the fix on
the jacks.  The new REV1.0c boards have the fix on the PCB.

Here's another example...

DIRS sets the direction of all 16 I/O pins. Note: this is opposite of the
standard Atom and BASIC Stamp.  It should be (for example):

DIRS = %1111110000000000 ' Configure Pins    0=input  1=output

One of these days... I'll take *all* the code offline and fix it all then
re-upload it.  Currently, I'm working on making a few of the subroutines run
faster and will incorporate those changes as well.  The variable types LONG
and FLOAT process *MUCH* faster than WORD, BYTE, NIB (which is fixed in IDE
version 7.2.0.3), and BIT!  So... by making all the variables that are
currently WORD or BYTE into LONG will speed up the processing.  This only
becomes an issue when we run out of the 2K of RAM and have to start
optimizing the code for space instead of speed.

Also... yes... I'm saving questions and answers and putting together a FAQ.
I've just been REALLY busy building modules (Henry Ford I'm *not*! -
However... you can have any color faceplate you like as long as it's black.
hehe) and haven't had time to write/fix code or the FAQ or just about
anything else.

Thanks,
Brice
