I'm looking for a header file (.h) that contains the code needed so that I can use for loops with my micro-controller. If anyone knows where I can download a file like this please reply!

@Neilman30

You don't need a header file for the "for" loops. It is part of the standard "C" language. The nerdkits lcd.c file has some examples of the syntax you'd use.

I know it's part of the standard C language but it said it didn't recognize the for loops in command prompt but it's fine I just changed them to while loops.

I do have another question though. Can the micro-controller handle multiple conditions in the while loop.

while (a > 1 && a < 5) { 
    Code Here... 
}

if you try the temperature sensor code from the PDF that came with your kit, you will see a for loop very similar to the following in the main method

   adc0_init();
    // take 100 samples and average them!
    temp_avg0 = 0.0;
    for(i=0; i<100; i++) 
    {
      last_sample0 = adc_read();
      this_temp0 = sampleToFahrenheit(last_sample0);

      // add this contribution to the average
      temp_avg0 = temp_avg0 + this_temp0/100.0;
    }

Hi Neilman30 -

You should be able to use multiple conditions in your while loop. Just to be safe, put each condition in its own parenthesis, like this:

while ((a > 1) && (a < 5)){

In regards to the "for" loop, did you initialize "i" previously in the code? If not you should get an error, but usually it's an "uninitialized variable" error. I've never seen the compiler complain about "for loops" before (unless the syntax is wrong).
