Hi

playing with the Mesecons mod. I have the micro-controller with lamps connected to ports B/D and switches to A/C.

I'd like the lamps to come on when a switch (A) is turned on.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: port = {a=false, b=false, c=false, d=false} if port.a == true then port.b = true port.d = true else port.b = false port.d = false end

I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my code, but I sense I haven't done anything to detect the switch being activated.
I'd appreciate any advice.

port is for output, pin is for input. Don't use port.a == true, use pin.a == true instead. Also see Chapter II over here: http://mesecons.net/luacontroller/

A shorter way to write your code would be:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: port.b = pin.a port.d = pin.a
