Hya,
tried the following rule with plugin P048
Code: Select all
On System#Boot do //When the ESP boots, do
let,1,0
let,2,0
logentry, "start"
endon
on OPEN#status do
if %eventvalue%=1
logentry,"forward"
let,1,1
MotorShieldCMD,DCMotor,4,Forward,100
else
logentry,"backward"
let,1,0
MotorShieldCMD,DCMotor,4,Backward,100
endif
endon
problem: event OPEN#status NEVER reaches.

How do you expect that event to be triggered? By a button, external command, other...?

button, OPEN
seams that
Code: Select all
MotorShieldCMD,DCMotor,4,Forward,100
takes over and nothing else works.

By default the Value for a Switch device is named State, you have used status, could that be a typo/mistake?
Edit: Aha, now I see the names on the screenshot. So no typo.
Do you have a serial log of the unit?

Got it working. A bad cable caused the mess.
Thx!

That was the next question I had in mind.
Great it is fixed.
