Hi,
I' d like to share the code I made to simulate a classic TON Delay Timer.
I run the following code in resident script with a time interval of 2sec (depends on required precision of course).
As it is a classic TON Delay Timer, some actions take place after the time counting which starts with the enabling of the Timer (condition = true).
If condition gets false before completing the Ton delay time setting, then the Timer is resetted and more generally a "condition = false" resets the timer.
Someone could add code in case "B" (outside "if"'s "else") to take back actions if it is desired.
I would like to ask :
1. In resident script was it necessary to use storage. That is, do variables keep their values among cycles?
2. Does writing to storage wear the SD Card?
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thank you in advance.
