Hi All,

I'm able to create a simple LED flashing pattern in the program. How could I utilize a switchbank to choose some predefined flashing patterns? I assume I have to utilize the If (Decision).

Thanks

EDIT: okay i figured it out by using a slide switch and using a component macro to read the value (0 or 1) of the chip to follow a certain decision. Is there a way though to be able to select more than 2 patterns?

Hello,

The switch icon will let you select more then two outcomes from a variable's value. Simply use an input icon to read the value from the switches and then use the switch icon to decide what to do based on the value from the input.

I can see from a single switch how to read if its a 0 or a 1 and to have an action for either case. With a switch bank im not sure how it works. Should each pin be hooked up to the same pin? Different Pins? If they are to different pins how do I read the value of the switch to a particular pin (since they are part of the same switchbank). It they are to the same pin, say i have two switches on, is that a readstate of 2?

Nevermind I figured it out. I just used the input of a switch pin to set a variable (int). And then could decide what to do
