I have no idea how to load these numbers. If I open N7, it lists about 100 numbers (all zeroes). Do I just manually plug in random numbers for each? I notice that you have the destination #N7:10. Does the # make it a rolling number so that it goes to N7:11 then N7:12...? I also need to choose a random mole (I have 5 moles). Would it be useful for me to pull a number from N7 (that is 1 to 5), compare that number to identify the mole number, then take the next value on N7 for the timer? A number 1-5 with a time base of 0.2 seconds would give me satisfactory results. It would be random enough... would this work? -
I'm a student at Texas A&M University and I'm in a class on robotics. For my final project, I've chosen to build a Whac-O-Mole machine. However, I don't know how to make random timers. I found the following link, but don't exactly know how to turn it into a random timer. I also don't know if it even works with MicroLogix 1000 (which is what I'm using). http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?showtopic=16883 Please help me to create a random timer for my school project. Thanks, Mike
