Programming help for two buttons

Support Servo controllers and servos
1

I could use some help with coding buttons. I would like the green button to run the sequence once and the red button to run the sequence 5 times. I’m not a programmer. I’m looking for any examples I may use.
Thank you for any help.

begin
		button_green if sequence_a endif
		button_red if sequence_b endif

repeat


sub button_green
		4 get_position 500 less_than
		return
sub button_red
		6 get_position 500 less_than 
		return		


sub sequence_a
sub sequence_b

Hello.

Thank you for posting what you have tried so far. There are probably a number of ways you could accomplish something like you described, but probably the easiest is by having a while loop in your sequence and putting the number of times you want it to loop on the stack before calling the sequence.

For example, your main BEGIN/REPEAT loop can look something like this:

begin
  button_green if 1 sequence_a endif    #run sequence_a 1 time
  button_red if 5 sequence_a endif         #repeat sequence_a 5 times
repeat

Then, you could make your sequence_a look something like this:

sub sequence_a
  begin dup while
    
    #code for sequence goes here

    1 minus
  repeat
  drop
return

Note that if you do it this way, you should remove your declaration of sequence_b.

That worked wonderfully. I did notice that all the movement was slower after the code change though. Is that normal.

Thanks again for the help.

I would not expect that change to slow anything down. Are you saying that the sequence is taking longer between movements now or that the servos are now moving slower than they were before during those movements?
