+--- Thread: Safe Programming of loops (/thread-4249.html)
- Daylehouse - 07-12-2015
I wondered if anyone can help with programming a loop in Comfort that is safe and will not overload the Bus.
Here is the application, I have CBus with a DMX gateway controlling RGB LEDs. If I wanted to create a looped response that created a rainbow or flashing what would be a safe way to do this in Comforts programming?
Can you do a \'loop until\' or call the response from the same response with maybe a flag to check each time if the loop should continue?
Any advice on a safe method?

Use a timer as in the following example to continuously call itself after a delay
Response X:
Cbus actions...
other actions
...
...
Do Response X after 2 seconds using Timer N
This will do the Response X every 2 seconds
To stop this cycle trigger a Response to stop the timer
eg
Stop Timer N
This stops the timer and hence the Response will not be triggered
