When you loop your script make sure you place a Sleep() command in there or you'll overwhelm your system and everything will come to a stop. The longer the pause the better and still have a quick enough responce for your taste. Try starting out about 0250 or less and work up from there. You my find a full second may seem like a sluggish responce when you push your button. Here's one of my scripts I use to toggle the personallity generiotr on and off when pushing a momentery button attached to an ADC port. Perhaps it could be written better but it seems to work nice for me with no problems:

:Start

$adcpersonalitycurrent = GetADC(adc2)

IF ($adcpersonalitycurrent > $adcpersonalitySpecified) #$adcpersonalitySpecified is set in the initscript and it triggers the script to move on when the ADC value raises above it.  
  goto(PersonalityToggle)
ELSE 
  Sleep(1000)
  Goto(Start)
ENDIF 
goto(Start)

:PersonalityToggle
IF ($Personality=1)
  ControlCommand("Speech Recognition", PauseOff)
  $Speech=0
  Sleep(7000)
  Goto(Start)
ELSEIF ($Speech=0)
  Goto(PauseOn)
ENDIF 
  
:PauseOn
$Personality=1
ControlCommand("Personality Generator", PauseOn)
Sleep(6000)
ControlCommand("Soundboard v4", Track_24)
Sleep(6000)

ADC_Wait(ADC2, Higher, 220, 1000)
ControlCommand("Personality Generator", PauseOff)
$Personality=0

Sleep(5000)
ControlCommand("Soundboard v4", Track_23)
Sleep(5000)

goto(Start)

I loved Queensland when I was there a few years back. I spent a couple days scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef off of Mackay from a catamaran. I understand why it's one of the wonders of the world now. I actually slept on the beach one night and watched the stars and listened to the ocean. The month I spent in your country was one of the best of my life.

Lots of stories to share but this is kinda off topic. Forgive me. Can't help it. I have to talk about my time with your people down under when I get a chance.

Thanks for all your help Dave No need for apologies, go off topic any time you want. I scuba dived at the Great Barrier Reef too some years back, incredible springs to mind. Never slept on a beach under the stars though...sounds awesome

Catch ya soon mate

GetADC( Port ) Returns the 8 Bit ADC value of the specified port Example: $x = GetADC(adc0)

I am having trouble with the above as I cant seem to figure out how to nominate which EZB board I am using. I have 2 EZBs and I want to monitor Port 0 of Board 1. I know the (adc0) refers to port 0 but how do I tell it to use board 1

Steve

From the EZ-B script manual:

Quote:

ARC supports multiple physical EZ-B Boards connected to your computer. You can specify the board by putting the board number in front of the port. For example: Servo(2.d0, 8) will move the D0 servo on EZ-B board #2 to position 8. If no board index is specified, the first board (zero) is assumed. If using more than one board, the first board is always responsible for movement panels.

So, for your example it would be $x = GetADC(1.adc0)

Alan

Actually Alen $x = GetADC(1.adc0) would be the 2nd EZB . The first EZB would be zero (0). You don't have to state that board. you would just write it like Steve shows it: GetADC(adc0)

Thanks guys, I think I tried nearly everything. The only difference between one of my many, many failed combinations and yours was I had a comer between the 1 and adc instead of a full stop. I will give that a try

yeah, I assumed he knew that board 1 is the second board because he specifically referenced it, and since I quoted the EZ-B manual section that explains the board numbering, but in case my assumption was wrong, yes, if you don't specify a number, it will choose board 0, the first board.
