this is getting ridiculous. With 1000s of "sample codes" laying around on the internet you persist with " I whipped up some code ... and I *thought* this should work"

first and formost read the bible and the tutorial!!!! there is no "learning" in bungling ahead and "fixing mistakes as they show". Those that approach the process that way end up with failure modes that they never can get rid of. I know of a few that after years of doing this still repeat the mistakes they picked up while "learning by doing"

Then, and only then, after you have read the bible and the tutorial and worked through the examples

1) get a working sample code
2) put it on your processor
3) verify it works as it is
4) if need, modify it to your purposes

on another note:
Have you not heard about variables? using registers as communication between an int and the main is a sure fire way to make code that will fail as it grows.

Start reading, work through the examples and THEN come back here because as stated "this is getting ridiculous"

No, this is not because I am "upset" it is to help you
