Thanks a lot, fixstuff - glad to know it is helpful. :)
Think I might do a few more like that - maybe easier to have it in a working schematic instead of long forum posts.

Had a closer look now...it's beautifully laid out and explained. Thanks again trog.
I love this part
Code: Select all
  def init
    @count = 0
    @old_count = 0
  end

Lots of my attempts kept going back to that area(def init).
At the moment, the first revelation i got was you can keep going with this
and keep defining "pre-existing" behaviours.
Code: Select all
  def setup
    @count = limit(@reset_value, @min, @max)
  end

"Def this", "def that"...before you do the "def event"....cool....
i could see that was required, if i wanted a reset to happen, I would have to write
a "sub" program of some sort, to initialize the main code that would be running.

At the moment 99% of your tutorial is alien to my brain.
So I'm going to leave the tutorial, and take this little "crumb" of info, and milk it.......
When i come up empty-the other 99% still there to fall back on ;)

What's that U2 song, "Waiting on the crumbs from your table"..........
Cheers mate.....

Well, now that a look away from the screen, my PC desk sure could do with a sweep - hope you like fig rolls! :lol:

Is it fresh, or is it one of those pieces of food you find lying around the CPU
that you thought you had eaten a few days ago :lol: :lol:

Counter won't re-set.
Trigger is bool to false from stop/start button.
Trigger works, but no re-set to "0" happens.
Circuit and settings in counter seem fine
Can't work it out :?

output 3 in ticker is time but i think it should be nil to send a trigger when state changes to false, and it does the reset but you putted a trigger switch on the output which is the reason that you don`t get it..
