Flex sensor control

Support Servo controllers and servos
1

Hello,

Have a Maestro 6ch hooked up to a flex sensor, servo & some leds. Want to have the leds off when sensor is straight and servo at position 1 then when bent leds on and servo position 2. Everything is great except for my leds which are backwards (on when straight off when bent). Button is on ch 1 servo on ch 0 and the leds on ch 5. Is there a way to reverse them in my code?

Thanks

begin
  2250 0 300 servo_range
  9000 300 600 servo_range
  
  
  
repeat
 

sub servo_range
  pot 2 pick less_than logical_not 
  pot 2 pick greater_than logical_not
  logical_and
  if
    begin
      pot 2 pick 10 minus less_than logical_not
      pot 2 pick 10 plus greater_than logical_not 
      logical_and
    while
      2 pick 0 servo
      2 pick 5 servo
    repeat

  endif
  drop drop drop
  return
 
sub pot
  1 get_position
  return

Hello.

The only place in the code where you are setting the LEDs is the line that contains “5 servo”. To invert the behavior of the LEDs, you could just replace “5 servo” with “12000 swap minus 5 servo”. This implements the formula “x = 12000 - x”, so any values above the threshold of 6000 would then be below it, and any values below 6000 would then be above it. I have not looked at your code carefully enough to know if this is the best way. I am also assuming that the case where x equals 6000 is not particularly important.
