cant get toggle to work

[ideasman]

Hi

At the moment I have two channels one and two. I cant get the 2 to toggle on a button component. This is a custom protocol as two separate switch's are working to confirm they work.Channel one is "on" and Channel "two" is off via a user defined protocol.

Ive forgot how to toggle them with the toggle action in the button?

can someone help.

Cheers

There's a Toggle Between action, or you can do it in script:

mychannel = !mychannel[0]

if you are trying to have one on while the other is off, you probably should use an if:

if (chan1[0])
   chan1 = 0
   chan2 = 1
else
   chan1 = 1
   chan2 = 0
endif

The code is not doing as expected. chan1 sends "110" and chan2 sends "210" from a user defined protocol. It is sending 110 but not "210" of the second channel. this is the quick sequence as follows

if (six1[0])
   six1 = 1   'Chan1
   six2 = 0	'Chan2
else 
   six1 = 0
   six2 = 1
endif

Sorry to add to the other email the code is sending the on and off together after watching the monitor function. Toggle not happening.

thanks

OK, first, I assume by 'Chan1, you meant // chan1. The double slash // is the comment, not '. I know ' is comment for some language, but I've forgotten which, VB maybe? // follows C.

Anyhow, so, is this one output, and six1 turns it on, six2 turns it off? If so, then you want:

if (six1.time[0] > six2.time[0])
   six2 = 1
else
   six1 = 1
endif

I'm using the time of the last setting to determine what the current state it. Is would be better if you had some feedback input channel for this.
