Time comparison

[malc-c]

Thanks guys,

Darrel, I'll give that a whirl later this morning.... and will report back if I have any issues

Love the look of that simulator.... nice layout

Thanks for the support

Edit - Just tried it by setting the current time to 8:15 and then setting the lighting to come on at 8:09 and off at 8:20 and when run it works fine - have also tried it with the clock set to 23:58 and a lighting period of 23:59 to 00:01 and that works too - Thanks DT

However.....

I can't get the display to show when the lights are on...

fn = 0                              ; select the first Lights
    GOSUB CheckTimes                    ; compare the programed period
    IF ProgON THEN                      ; If in the program period
       IF Lights1 = 0 THEN Lights1 = 1
       IF Lights1 = 1 LCDOut $FE, $94+9,"Light 1 ON"
    ELSE
       IF Lights1 = 1 THEN Lights1 = 0
       IF Lights1 = 0 LCDOut $FE, $94+9,"          " 
    ENDIF

    fn = 1                              ; select the second Lights
    GOSUB CheckTimes                    ; compare the programed period
    IF ProgON THEN
        IF Lights2 = 0 THEN Lights2 = 1
    LCDOut $FE, $94+9,"Light 2 ON"
    ELSE
        IF Lights2 = 1 THEN Lights2 = 0
     LCDOut $FE, $94+9,"          "
     ENDIF
    if Lights1 = 1 and Lights2 = 1 then 
    LCDOut $FE, $94+9,"Lights ON"
    ELSE
     LCDOut $FE, $94+9,"          "
     Endif

The value for Lights1 or Lights2 changes from 0 to 1 as the corresponding LED on the development board lights up or turns off according to the value, but the IF Lights1 = 1 LCDOut $FE, $94+9,"Light 1 ON" or IF Lights1 = 1 THEN LCDOut $FE, $94+9,"Light 1 ON" seems to be ignored
