Love the comments Trog, wonderful learning tool.

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.

Here's a counter that should cover most bases...

Awesome....only had time for a quick look.....

wonderful learning tool.

...yeh, it looks that way ....Thanks Trog.

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.....

Thanks for the kind words,guys, you are most welcome.

"Waiting on the crumbs from your table".

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

hope you like fig rolls!

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
..na, keep it...you've already given us noobs a 'smorgasbord" in that FSM...

Finally born a ruby counter.
Thank Trog!

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..

[billv]

you putted a trigger switch on the output which is the reason

Thanks mate. i just took it off and it re-sets fine.......
Not sure why i have a trigger switch in their yet , built it some time ago..will start again with it.
Cheers.
