increment loop counter

[alfred.tan]

Hi Sir/Madam,

Does anyone know how to write a increment loop counter base on a boolean input?

Basically I would like to track the number of transition of a boolean start from 0 to 3. Once it reaches 3 I would like the counter to reset to 0 again.

Your help is much appreciated. thanks in advance.

Hi Alfred,

you should use a shift register to create your own counter:

The example detects transitions of your bool input, counts them and limits to counter to a range of 0...3.

GerdW,

You are totally ROCK!!!! thanks for sharing.

By the way, why are you using the shift register before the Xor gate?

I connect my Boolean to the Boolean converter and follow by the + gate. It still work fine.

Please advise. Just want to learn more.

Thanks.

Hi Alfred,

you said you wanted to track transitions of the boolean - but not the state of the boolean itself.

To detect transitions you can use a feedback node with an XOR. Or use the corresponding point-by-point function...
