Matrix user forums

Hello All.
Well at this moment I have not been able to recover my Old Flowcode Design from my failed Laptop Drive.

I was able to find a copy from the forum during past help.

It works 85%. And my mind is running in circles.

I have a Macro call when the Digit "0" is pressed it runs a Reset Macro.
The steps I trying to follow that other programing in my flowcode will not work not work in my new Reset Macro.
I have 4 steps and just focusing on just 1 to work.
Steps.
Press "0"
'0' is routed thru the "Keypad" Macro.
The "0" selection runs Macro Reset.----Works.
Now in Reset I need a selection ?
Press 1 --- Score
Press 3 - Pitch
For some reason beyond my findings I can not get the program to wait for the Selection and then run the little Branch to play a message.
In the future I will do some calculations in the Branch.

Currently when you press "1" it runs off and adds a count to Home team pitch.
I have added my Flowcode.

I know I'm missing a step just can't see it........

Hi John,
Good to see you back on the forums as well.
I have spotted two issues within Keypad macro: 1) You have got a keypad component macro to first detect what key you pressed then another keypad component macro to wait until a key is pressed.

Doing that way around will not detect which key has been pressed.
You need to wait for a key pressed, then detect which key is pressed.

The other issue is never to use a call macro in this case Keypad to call itself!
Use a conditional loop instead.
If you want the loop to run at least once as in this case then select End
However, within Keypad function macro, you have got a decision branch: Near the end you have then call the Key Keypad function macro.
Start is never going to be 2 at this point, so don't know why you are calling the Keypad function macro again??

Hop this helps you to get further.

I have not checked the rest of the flowchart, just one step at a time.

Thank you Martin

Off to make it happen and refresh my knowledge

Hello Martin

I tried the steps and for some reason if I removed them the Selection for 2 & 8 won't work. The action of Start = 2 is activated when the Selection of "5" so the selection of 2 and 8 only appears once.

After this investigation on the Keypad selection the Selection for 5 and 2 or 8 are working.

I'm going back to the Reset macro to do digit capture and see if I can get it to work.

No I'm not suggesting to remove them.
The order needs swapping.
So it's
Wait first then GetAscii after!

I missed that step.

Off to correct.

Martin do you recall back in the day how to collect 2 digits from the keypad.

I recall a loop to get the 1st digit and then a loop to get the 2nd digit and then a formula to combine the two values.

Like Digit 1 = 2
Like Digit 2 - 4
The Sum of the Digit is 24

Hi John,
Yes I remember.
It's something like

Excellent Help Martin

Was able to get the Master back from 2016 version to 2018.

All the best

The "Collection of Digits is working out perfect.

Hi John, glad you are all sorted now.
This may or may not be of interest to you?
