Switch (Microswitch) component
Industry standard V3 size microswitch fitter with a roller arm - activated by other panel objects coming into contact with the roller. Changes the state of a chip pin, and sends a simulation notification message when its state changes.

|
ReadState |
| Get the current collision state. The 'Polarity' property will affect whether a collision is represented by a high or low state. | |
 - BYTE
|
Return |
|
|
SetTarget |
| Set the object that you want to test for collision with. If this is not called, or is called with handle = 0, collisions will be tested against every panel object that has 'Solid' status. NB) Specifying an object will save CPU power!! | |
 - HANDLE
|
Target |
| The object to test for collision with. | |
 - VOID
|
Return |
|
|
WaitUntilHigh |
| Pause the program until the detector goes high. 'Polarity' will affect whether high value represents a collision or separation. NB) In simulation, only use this macro if testing for collision with animated or timer driven objects!! | |
| - VOID
|
Return |
|
|
WaitUntilLow |
| Pause the program until the detector goes low. 'Polarity' will affect whether low value represents a collision or separation. NB) In simulation, only use this macro if testing for collision with animated or timer driven objects!! | |
| - VOID
|
Return |

Properties |
|
Connections |
|
Pin |
| The chip pin that will change state when the switch is activated. | |
|
Polarity |
| The state that the pin should take when the switch is pressed. | |
|
|
Simulation |
|
Target Object |
| Choose a specific other object to test for collision with. If left unconnected, the test object will be tested against every object on the panel. Choose a specific object to check against wherever possible - checking all objects requires much more time and computing power! | |
|
Timer Interval (ms) |
| Time in milliseconds between collision scans. Small time = Greater CPU load Large time = More like to miss brief collisions. | |
|
|
Notification |
|
Notify |
| Whether to send a notification event to the component's parent. When enabled, set a message ID below to aid identification of events. Data will be one or zero, representing the microswitch state. | |
