Has anyone used the Array's in Piced logic.

Hi All I'm trying to create a list of gate address's that i can select a gate address from to test, excluding ones that i have allocated to controlling my test page actions.

I'd like to be able to use a slider control to select only the available gate address's not used for my program control. At the moment it will range between 0 and 255.

Is this possible, or is there another way to accomplish the same task.
So far i have tried to use an Array to hole the available gate address's to test but can't get that to work. Does anyone have examples of using arrays they'd like to share?

regards

What are "gate addresses" ?

Can you post your current code?

 

Off work until next Tuesday, ill post a part of the project with that page. The other thing im trying to do is monitor a slider that changes a user system io, trying to get it to change color if its on a bad gate address.

Thanks for the quick reply much appreciated.

So what exactly is a gate address?

 

You know something that can be turned on off, dimmed.

P.S. i ment group

 

This should get you going.

Add a slider to a page, set it's range from 0 to 255 and give it the name 'slider' (under the general tab)

Code:

// Global variables section
sliderArray: array[0..255] of boolean; // Define array. Will be set True for  valid group, false otherwise
sliderValue: integer; // Temp value to read slider
i: integer; // For loop counter

// Initialization section
for i := 0 to 255 do sliderArray[i] := true; // Assume most are valid (I assume this is true?)
sliderArray[9] := false;  // Add a few random invalid addresses. Change as required
sliderArray[21] := false;
sliderArray[45] := false;
sliderArray[46] := false;
sliderArray[47] := false;
sliderArray[48] := false;
sliderArray[49] := false;
sliderArray[110] := false;
sliderArray[111] := false;
sliderArray[112] := false;

// Module
sliderValue :=  GetIntSystemIO("SliderValue"); //Read slider position
if hasChanged(sliderValue) then // Wait till someone moves slider
begin
  if sliderArray[sliderValue] then // Check if  valid group
    SetCompIntegerProp("Page 1", "Slider", "Slider Slot Background Colour", clWhite) // Valid, set slider slot white
  else
    SetCompIntegerProp("Page 1", "Slider", "Slider Slot Background Colour", clRed); // Invalid, set slider slot red
end;

This just changes the colour of the slider slot. You can change any attribute you want. Easiest way is to right click in the logic and select Page/Comp Properties then Set Comp Prop.

 

Hi Ash,
Thats frigin amazing, perfect for setting the slider color, and perhaps i can adapt it in sone way to limit availabe address displayed.
You are truly amazing man.

Hi All, and Ash,
Here's my sample project so far, it does still have some bugs to get out but the overall functionality is working OK.
You can select between relay or dimmer, 1, 4, 8 or 12 channels to test, the lower section lets you select all dimmer or relay options. This is also were you select a specific group address to test if required. Some addresses are blanked out as they are used for project control. And thanks to Ash i was able to add hiding the project addresses as well as turning the slider red until an allowed group is selected.

Just a fun little project to learn more about logic, hope people out there can also use it. Let me know and i can provide updates when the whole thing is completed.

regards
Trevor
