ok…i have asked several questions about the turning of the arm…slowly but surely with all of your help our control team has figured out a simple program to make the arm turn with ONE BUTTON!!! Thanx for everyone’s help and please reply here or pm me if you have any questions!!! Our team will be glad to help out. Here is the code for everyone who needs it :smiley:

if logged = 1 then hopskipjump:

if count1 = 1 then skippy:
if p1_sw_top = 0 then out:
if p1_sw_top = 1 then in:
in:
relay1_fwd = 1
relay1_rev = 0
count1 = 1
goto hopskipjump:
out:
skippy:

if count1 = 0 then jumpy:
if p1_sw_top = 0 then outy:
if p1_sw_top = 1 then iny:
iny:
relay1_rev = 1
relay1_fwd = 0
count1 = 0
outy:
jumpy:

hopskipjump:
logged = p1_sw_top

That’s sweet.

But why did you use outy: and jumpy:? Couldn’t you use hopskipjump: instead since it goes to the same place? It would save your memory and processor from having to process those lines.

the one who programmed it decided to use those words for the heck of it

The code works!!! It doesnt need any editing if you just wanted to know!!!

Now that I look at it, it is the same address… I don’t think that they were the first time I wrote it … but now that it has been edited…

Thanks… I’ll remove those two lines from the code.

I also probably wrote it that way because I’m use to nested “if” statements so I always want to end an “if” statement. I sure wish they would get away from using PBASIC as a programming language though, me and my team all hate it.
