Re: Timed Button

Thanks for the kind words, assaf2b. I would really hate for it not to work, so I quick tested it and found something that could be changed. I think if you use that code, it would keep the motor going until you released it, then wait and stop. I don't think this is the result you want, so I'm posting a revision of the code.

This time I took my own advice and stored the last button value and only took action when the button is true and the last value is false. Then when I ran it, it set the motor, waited the specified time, set the motor to zero, and didn't do it again until I released the button and pressed again. I think this is the behavior you want, so here is a screen shot and vi. Just drop the while loop into the Periodic Tasks vi, hook up the motor and joystick, and you should be good. I have tested this on the front panel and works as advertised there.

Great job on getting to the finals!
