Sorry about being retarded about the title again, I accidently hit new instead of reply. "Name" doesn't work consistently for me, so there is that too.

Thanks everybody for their understanding,

So I have been slowly working through the propeller labs.  Taking a small baby step, I am trying to get roborealm to recognize a button being pushed.  Using the following spin code I can watch the button being pushed in the terminal emulator it correctly produces a carriage return, a 0, or a 1, and a tab:
{{
DisplayPushbuttons2.spin
Display pushbutton states with roborealm}}

CON

  _clkmode = xtal1 + pll16x
  _xinfreq = 5_000_000

OBJ

  Debug: "FullDuplexSerialPlus"

PUB TerminalPushbuttonDisplay

  Debug.start(31, 30, 0, 57600) ' initiates serial connection
  waitcnt(clkfreq*7 + cnt)            ' waits 7 seconds
  repeat
     If ina[10] == 1   ' if the button on pin 10 is pushed
       Debug.str(String(13,"1",9)) 'output <cr>1<tab>
     else
       Debug.str(String(13,"0",9)) 'output <cr>0<tab>
     waitcnt(clkfreq/100 + cnt)  'wait 1/100 second before repeat

on the roborealm side, I have loaded serial control and Watch_Variables. I can connect to the com port at 57600 and the only thing I have is

<cr>[Button]<tab>

under receive sequence.

I open Watch_Variables and it sticks at "0" no matter the state of the button.

Do I need an initialization sequence?  If I do, it is unclear to me if I need an initialization sequence at every connect to update the state of [Button] or just once at the beginning.

This is my initial attempt at a "HELLO WORLD" type of program to get information from the propeller to Roborealm.  I feel I am missing something obvious.

thanks,
grindel
