END
Function
End the program, placing the BASIC Stamp into low-power mode
indefinitely. This is equivalent to having a program that does not loop
continuously; once the BASIC Stamp reaches the end of the PBASIC
program, it enters low-power mode indefinitely. The END command is
optional.
Quick Facts
Table 5.23: END Quick Facts.
Note: Current measurements are
based on 5-volt power, no extra
loads, and 75°F ambient
temperature.

Explanation
END puts the BASIC Stamp into its inactive, low-power mode. In this
mode the Stamp's current draw (excluding loads driven by the I/O pins) is
reduced to the amount shown in Table 5.23. END keeps the BASIC Stamp
inactive until the reset line is activated, the power is cycled off and back on
or the PC downloads another program.
Just as with the SLEEP command, pins will retain their input or output
settings after the BASIC Stamp is deactivated by END. For example, if the
BASIC Stamp is powering an LED when END executes, the LED will stay
lit after END, but every 2.3 seconds, there will be a visible wink of the LED
as the output pin switches to the input direction for 18 ms (60 µs on the
BS2pe). (See the SLEEP command for more information).
