Hi,

I tried to play a little bit for an own toy with the library. And individually the functions of it are great and work. But when I try to to work with the full Mod Sketch I only can get the button to work when I include the Onebutton Library into the mod_vibrator.ino , define the pin there and changing the set.up buttons clicks. At least the single click function for switching patterns is working then. But the increase or decrease not.

Maybe there is something wrong with pulling the defined pin in the ossex.cpp file. Could you help me out here? Would love to get it fully going.

Currently pattern functions set a global step array of {motorNumber, motorPower, stepTime} for the next vibration pattern step to be run.

You can currently only set one motor change per step. Ideally you'd be able to update all motors at once in a given step.

Considerations:

• Keeping it clean and approachable for people of different experience levels
• Handling time: do we have a time component for each motor ({ {m1power, m1time}, {m2power, m2time} }...)? Do we consider each motor's step time as happening sequentially or all step times initiating at the start of the step? Eg: to turn the motors on to 200 power with 100ms offsets from each other do we do: { {200, 100}, {200, 100}, {200, 100} } OR { {200, 100}, {200, 200}, {200, 300} }? They seem roughly equivalent right now, but both seem conceptually tricky.
• Handling time 2: What if we have a single time value, but multiple potential values for motor and power? Something like { {motors}, {powers}, time }. Issue is then how to structure the data to handle cases where we're updating only one motor or updating all 3. Maybe like:

struct {
  bool motor[3];
  unsigned int power[3];
  unsigned int time;
} step;

So then each step can update the motors like so:

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
  if (step.motor[i]) { 
    Toy.setOutput(i, step.power[i]); 
  }
}

People can then write pattern functions that set Step or Toy.step:

function myPattern() {
  Step.motor[0] = true;
  Step.power[0] = 200;

  if (random(2) % 2) {
    Step.motor[1] = true;
    Step.power[1] = random(255);
  } else {
    Step.motor[1] = false;
  }

  Step.time = 400;
}
