switching scenes in a panel

Post by Ino » Sat 1. Sep 2018, 21:22

I want to switch between more than 2 scenes in a panel with a virtual variable, but no succes. With 2 scenes it works fine. How can I switch between more than 2 scenes?

Hello Michael,

Thanks for the fast reply!

I am using PCAN explorer ver. 5.0.4.641 and instruments panel ver. 3.0.4.321. For the symbol editor I am using format 5.0.

The major problem is that when i make a virtual variable to switch between different scenes only the value 0 and 1 are accepted as scene switch command/value. I created the switching value by a button with a push and release value (in this case equal) in a virtual variable (decimal value).

maybe you have an example of the scene switching function. The alternative I am trying now is to make a "virtual" CAN message with the value for the switching value.

If you need more information pls let me know.

Kind regards and thanks in advantage,

Ino

Hi,

as a first step, please download the latest version 5.4 from the startpage (news section) of PCAN-Explorer and install it. Next please don`t use a bit variable for switching the scenes. Use an unsigned variable, to be able to have more than 2 possibilities.

regards

Michael.
