Random Switching

I was wondering if anyone has written code for a random pulsing of group addresses from an input (ie if you have a large commerical building with 35 AC units and a current limiter triggers a relay then randomly pick a AC to turn off if it remians high keep picking random AC units to turn off)
or ( if you have a kids party and press a switch to trigger the party mode and you have selcted lights pulsing on randomly and repeating until trigger group is turned off) let me know or I will try to write one. Cheers

 

Can't help with the code, but another good example of a use for this would be an "un-attended home" thingy...

It could turn on and off random lights, that would kind of give the impression that somebody was home when really they weren't

Cheers, John

 

Have a look at the "Random Event Times" topic in the FAQ of the Logic Engine help file.

 

any help where to start???

 

Also see the example project C:\CLIPSAL\PICED\Projects\Examples\Logic\Random Control

 

Have some sample programs

Nathan call me. Or drop a post with an email address.

I have some sample programs. I have decided to get Darren to check these before going public, however Darren is REALLY busy and hasn't had the time. In the meantime I am happy to give out my work to individuals on the understanding that you use them for training or in any case at your own risk

The program includes serial 232 controls for high end amps etc.

 

Sorry Phil

Now that V3.3 is released, I should be able to find some time...
