: I am trying to use the wheel off of joystick 2 as a relay output to a spike to control a cylinder. I've tried to change the program, but have been unsuccessful. Does anyone know where I can get some info on how to change a PWM input (from the wheel, in my case) to a relay output?

: Thanks in advance for any help.

Try this...

1. First, use the debug statement in your program to get the values for the positions that you want to use, just in case that the max and min values are not quite 0 and 254.

2. Then, put code similar to this in your program
(note: this code assumes relay 3)

relay3_fwd = 0
relay3_rev = 0

if p2_wheel = 0 then relay_3_reverse
if p2_wheel = 254 then relay_3_forward

; turn off relay 3
goto relay_3_done

relay_3_reverse:
relay3_rev = 1
goto relay_3_done

relay_3_forward:
relay3_fwd = 1

relay_3_done:

Try that out and feel free to ask if you have any questions...

Nate
