Variable Examples


# Move a servo slowly in increments of 10 
# from position 10 to 90

$position = 10

:loop

 servo(d1, $position)

 print("Position: $position")

 Say("$Position")

 sleep(1000)

 $position = $position + 10

 if ($position > 90)
   goto(end)

goto(loop)

:end
Say("I'm Done counting!")


# Simple demonstration of variable usage
# All variables must be assigned before 
# being used in a function

say("I'll do some math for you")

$y = 5

$x = 5 + 3 + $y

servo(d1, $x)

say("X equals $x")


# This script will read the position of
# the servo on D1

$servo = GetServo(d1)

Say("Servo 1 is at position $servo")

DJ,

Is it possible to add ScriptStopWait as well?

I link to different scripts, starting and stopping many within Script Manager.

Sometimes scripts are not getting stopped and I have to currently add Sleep delays. Could you add ScriptStopWait to overcome this?

Thanks,

Lumpy

Lumpy, no there isn't - script stop will stop - the issue you are experiencing has been addressed in the thread you started regarding it.
