Matrix user forums

Hi i am new here and have spent the past few day creating a few theoretical projects to see how i get on with Flowcode, all good so far, money well spent i think. I have looke through much of the discussion and i feel i need a bit of catching up.

Now my first real project.
I am looking to be able to use three switches to set a value between 1 and 7 (proposing to use Ports A0,A1 and A2 presumably using a combination of 1,2and 4 to set a number up to 7 of the type 0-255) and then use this value to set a loop count between 1 and 7.

I think this is probably quite simple, but cannot currently see the wood for the trees.

I have managed to create the main sequence to intelligently share a smart motorcycle battery maintainer between 1 and 7 bikes in a correct manner that allows the charger to properly initialise at each 48 hour change-over but would like to refine the system to allow me to set the number of bikes by using the three switches rather than re-program the chip each time and hard setting the count value.

I would appreciate anyones help who can nudge me in the right direction

Best regards

Hello,

Welcome to the forums. Please can you sign up and use the relevant topic for your version of Flowcode.

http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/forum_upgrades.php

or for the demo version.

Here is a quick example written in v5.

Did not expect it to be just so easy to collect the count from the switches. I had been head scratching for hours, Many thanks for that.
Next step hardware
I can see the benefit of working through the tutorials though.
Many thanks again, i will properly register with version 5 just as soon as i receive my order bundle via Amazon.
