PostPosted: Fri Jun 11, 2004 2:22 pm   Post subject: Elevator program

I made an elevator and I control a stepper motor. What I use is the parallel cable to connect to an input device and I have a keypad that controls up and down. But what I want to do is control which floors to go to and also continuous movement because what i have to do is hold a number to keep it moving and i dont want to have to do that. if anyone can help me with this program it would be appreciated.

What i added was teh simple program i made just for up and down movements.

Sorry dude...most ppls here don't have/use parallelport too much...
I looked at the code, couldn't quite make heads or tails of it...

You just may be on your own...

well say you just made a visual of the program elevator then. how would you control what floor to go to, say u were at the first, how would u go to the second and not keep gonig to the third?

I'd have preset coordinates for each floor, like in an array, then when the floor is chosen, I'd runa for loop to animate the elevator moving to that floor.

lol, what are u talking about, I don't know anything about the real elevator program with the parallel ports, but I do know the animation isn't difficult.
its like u have 2 variables, one for the current floor and one for the floor ur going, have the coordinates of each floor in an array, then do something like
code:

if going up then
for a: current..destination
drawelevator (elevator, x, a, 2)
delay (5)
View.Update
cls
end for
elsif going down then
for decreasing a: current..destination

drawelevator (elevator, x, a, 2)
delay (5)
View.Update
cls
end for
end if

I don't think so, if I was inclined to touch turing this month I'd make one right now, but Im not, so u can always wait until someone finds this thread and decides to make one.

here is a code for elevator that works but with out binary to decimal decoder ....

code:

parallelput (1)
delay (2000)
% These two lines of code lift the elevator's platform for 2 seconds.

put "Welcome to floor one!"

parallelput (0)
delay (2000)
% This command leaves the elevator at floor one for 2 seconds.

parallelput (1)
delay (2000)
% This command raises the elevator to floor 2.

put "Welcome to floor two!"

parallelput (0)
delay (2000)
% This command leaves the elevator at floor two for 2 seconds.

parallelput (2)
delay (2000)
% Brings the elavator down to level 1.

put "Welcome to floor one!"

parallelput (0)
delay (2000)
% This command leaves the elevator at floor one for 2 seconds.

parallelput (2)
delay (2000)
% This command returns the platform to ground level.

put "Welcome to the ground level!"
parallelput (0)


if u want also binary to decimal decoder u have to change paralleputs a bit, put 8 to display floor 2 and also paralleput2 in same parallel put
ex paralleput ( 2 + 8)
and for it to display floor 1 i belvie it goes something like
parallelput ( 2+4)
ill check 2morow

Well to help other people out... i put keypad wires into my input device and the connectors act like binary... 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 and ground.... so my x values are teh base value of the computer plus the connector... so for example. x = 132 i got that from say the base value was 128 for the computer, then 4 would be what the keypad was connected to, to operate. i guess i should update my comments
