Okay..
I just got back home from the funeral home. Yes, I'd like your
help,now I need to figure out how to add you as a moderator. I looked
on three screens, can't find it yet, but you are it... Kinda light
headed at the moment. I'm off to bed here in a second.
I got about half the codebase wrote for a simulated plc to run on a
pc.. you enter ladder rung logic onto the screen in contact picture
format, the output pins on the port come on and off with response to
internal timers or bit logic or inputs.. Or a sequence of all of the
above. This is for a friends toy train set, he is deadly serious about
it, spent some big bucks on this. I have set it up for two parallel
cards, 1440 rungs of logic have to be written. I am going to do a
sequential program write loop and have it output the rungs,
sequentially numbered to a file, then cut and paste it in. Less typos
that way anyways. Declarations of variables will be a joy too. This
will be completed and out the door while I am thinking on a solution
for the camera program bug.. The Plc program can run in the
background, OR the perfect christmas light program to give a timed and
sequenced display. I thought up a Drum timer to put in, just not
figured out the logic yet, other than a scroll index box that shifts
bits to the port at coil shifts.. then you can put contacts logic in
to shift each switch. cnc tool changer?
My family thinks I am nuts enough anyway. They call me the black
sheep. Everything seems normal now. Except I feel like crap.
