Switch (BL0145) component
A set of 8 push switches that can be connected to an E-blocks 2 upstream board via a port connector. Switches are wired in an active high configuration.
There are component macros to read the state of all switches at once or just one of the switches. You can also use macros to tell the program to wait until a certain switch is pressed. When reading the state of a certain switch you are asked to input the index value of that switch (0-7), the index values are displayed below the switches on the E-blocks 2 board.
Make sure the switch panel is connected to the correct port in flowcode corresponding to the port on your E-blocks 2 upstream board.

ReadState
Read the state of the switch at the given index.
Parameters
- BYTE Index
- The switch to read the status of.
Return value
- BOOL : Key state - true = on, false = off
WaitUntilHigh

- Index of the switch to wait for.
Return value
- This call does not return a value
ReadAll
Reads all of the switches at once, returning a byte containing one bit per
switch.
Parameters
