Repeating event demos
Repeating events can be used to create a simple timer.
Requirements:
- channel 1 - output relay
// NOTE: addRepeatingEvent [RepeatTime] [RepeatCount]
addChangeHandler Channel1 != 0 addRepeatingEvent 2 1 setChannel 1 0
// here is alternative sample script, but commented out
// code above will forever toggle relay every 15 seconds
// addRepeatingEvent 15 -1 POWER TOGGLE
Loop demo
Features a 'goto' script command (for use within script) and, obviously, a label.
Requirements:
- channel 1 - output relay
again:
echo "Step 1"
setChannel 1 0
echo "Step 2"
delay_s 2
echo "Step 3"
setChannel 1 1
echo "Step 4"
delay_s 2
goto again
Loop & if demo
This example shows how you can use a dummy channel as a variable to create a loop
Requirements:
- channel 1 - output relay
- channel 11 - loop variable counter
// Channel 11 is a counter variable and starts at 0
setChannel 11 0
again:
// If channel 11 value reached 10, go to done
if $CH11>=10 then goto done
// otherwise toggle channel 1, wait and loop
toggleChannel 1
addChannel 11 1
delay_ms 250
goto again
done:
toggleChannel 1
delay_s 1
toggleChannel 1
delay_s 1
toggleChannel 1
delay_s 1
toggleChannel 1
delay_s 1
goto restart
Thread cancelation demo and exclude self demo
This example shows how you can create a script thread with an unique ID and use this ID to cancel the thread later
Requirements:
- channel 1 - output relay
- pin 8 - button
- pin 9 - button
// 123 and 456 are unique script thread names
addEventHandler OnClick 8 startScript this label1 123
addEventHandler OnClick 9 startScript this label2 456
label1:
// stopScript ID bExcludeSelf
// this will stop all other instances
stopScript 456 1
stopScript 123 1
setChannel 1 0
delay_s 1
setChannel 1 1
delay_s 1
setChannel 1 0
delay_s 1
setChannel 1 1
delay_s 1
setChannel 1 0
delay_s 1
setChannel 1 1
delay_s 1
exit;
label2:
// stopScript ID bExcludeSelf
// this will stop all other instances
stopScript 456 1
stopScript 123 1
setChannel 1 0
delay_s 0.25
setChannel 1 1
delay_s 0.25
setChannel 1 0
delay_s 0.25
setChannel 1 1
delay_s 0.25
setChannel 1 0
delay_s 0.25
setChannel 1 1
delay_s 0.25
setChannel 1 0
delay_s 0.25
exit;
Using channel value as a variable demo
Requirements:
- channel 1 - output relay
- channel 11 - you may use it as ADC, or just use setChannel 11 100 or setChannel 11 500 in console to change delay
// set default value
setChannel 11 500
// if you don't have ADC, use this to force-display 11 as a slider on GUI
setChannelType 11 dimmer1000
looper:
setChannel 1 0
delay_ms $CH11
setChannel 1 1
delay_ms $CH11
goto looper
Sending UART from script - WXDM2 dimmer support
Requirements:
- a WXDM2 dimmer with custom UART protocol
// WXDM2 dimmer demo
// WXDM2 is using custom UART protocol with no checksum
again:
addChannel 10 1 0 255 1
delay_ms 100
uartSendHex 0A FF 55 02 00 $CH10$ 00 00 0A
goto again
