Getting a error

Support Servo controllers and servos

I keeping getting a error saying REPEAT must end a BEGIN…REPEAT block

BEGIN
  # Set the initial position of the servo to 0
  setTarget(0, 0)

  # Loop forever
  while (1) {
    # Read the state of the switches
    pin4State = getPosition(4)
    pin5State = getPosition(5)

    # Check if pin 4 is on (active)
    if (pin4State > 0) {
      # Turn the servo left 
      setTarget(0, 900)  
    }
    # Check if pin 5 is on (active)
    else if (pin5State > 0) {
      # Turn the servo right 
      setTarget(0, 2000)  
    }
    else {
      # If neither switch is on, return the servo to position 0
      setTarget(0, 0)
    }

    # Wait a short time before checking again
    sleep(10)
  }
REPEAT

I have zero idea why I am getting this error. any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Hello.

Could you clarify what device you are using and what you are trying to do?

yes, apologies for being vague. simple single servo on pin 0, pin 4 and pin 5 when HIGH turn the servo left to right on a 3 way switch. when the switch is in natural the servo should go back to zero. the project is a hydraulic bi-directional ram being controlled by a switch at a safe distance
thank you for the help.

Are you using one of our Maestro servo controllers? It looks like your code is written mostly in C (or some C variant); if that code is supposed to be a Maestro script, please note that the Maestro scripting language is a stack-based language very similar to FORTH (which is very different from C). I recommend reviewing “The Maestro Scripting Language” section of the Maestro user’s guide to get a better understanding of it.
