trigger event timer

[pete]

K.C. I really think an event timer needs to be added to the trigger seq setup so the trigger seq.s can't be repeatedly started and end up looking and sounding like a cheap rap song.

and whats wrong with cheap rap?????



















LOL

[pete]

it's cheap and will vixen a bad name

Is there something specific you're experiencing?

[pete]

KC,

Looking for a timer I can set when setting up each trigger line. Which would allow the triggered sequence to complete before it could be triggered again.

I understand now, something configurable by the user. I'll make a note and see how it would fit into the code.

Thanks KC

KC is this still on the List??

[KC]

It's one of the things I was referring to in the notes when I said that not all requests made it in. So, yeah, it's still on the list for evaluation. Sorry, it's been a hectic summer.

I've been thinking about these triggers and an event timer to allow the triggered seq to completely exec before it will trigger again. I think I've come up with a solution til KC has time to work an event timer into the code.
When someone programs a sequence to be triggered, add an extra channel to the works called a run time channel. This channel will power a circuit or relay that will disable the related trigger til the seq has completed. This will prevent restarts or multiple trigger seq running.

Pete, would it be enough to have something (optional) that prevented the sequences from overlapping in execution, to make the responses execute serially (on a per-response basis)? Or do you actually need a time frame?
