newbie: help with array!

paradrape

hi forum,

i'm trying to do something simple and i hope you can help.

I have a list of numbers of Air Quality data from Beijing that i'm trying to visualize using the BS2. I want to write some code that will look at a number in the list, see if it is between certain values, then do something based on the outcome.

my pseudoish code is here:

----

Air_Quality_Data· DATA 35, 47, 78, 102, 123, 153, 89, 190, 54, 34, 86, 75, 123

(here i need some code where each successive value in the list is set to a variable, call it "i", and the value of "i" is
evaluated by the code below, sending data to the board)

Activate:
· ELSEIF (i > 50) AND (i < 100) THEN
··· PULSOUT 2, 2000
· ELSEIF (i > 100) THEN
··· PULSOUT 2, 2000
··· PULSOUT 8, 2000
· ENDIF
RETURN

----

can you help me fill in the blanks and correct my code?

thanks. this is the first time i've done this and i'm a bit stuck even with the manual.

Since you're using the DATA statement, I assume that this list is stored in EEPROM and is fixed when you compile your program. You would use the READ statement to get this data and the label "Air_Quality_Data" will be the starting point of the list. The chapter in the manual on the READ and DATA statements have some examples of this sort of thing.

If you want to make this values to go to a variable , set :

aux var nib

i var byte(12) 'take a look here that I'm based on your example were all the values are under value 255 (witch fit into a byte) and you are checking 13 values
j var byte 'just a place to work with the numbers

FOR aux=0 TO 12
j = i(aux)
GOSUB Activate
next

'keep up with the tasks



Hope to help
