Hi guys,

I'm playing around with that code that someone called Jay Dee uploaded in order to allow a momentary switch to act as a latching one. It is very good.

When stepping through the Flowcode to check how the thing works I realised that it is not possible to hold down the button with the mouse and press F8 to continue stepping through the program.

The program either needs to allow a temporary "Latch" such as "Latch for the next press of F8 / SHIFT+F8" or multitask on the the reading of the switch and continuing to step through the code.

Whilst you're there why not take the Flowcode HID module and emulate it connecting to the computer temporarily so the program can be stepped through as above.

Just a thought to keep Ben busy....

Hi Sparkoids,
You can get round what you want to do by Key Mapping. See:

Then you can single step (or run) and by holding down the number on the keyboard that switch is mapped to, the the momentary switch will stay activated until you release key.

Hope that helps

Martin
