need help with simple case statement

laser-vector

hi all

im trying to sample from an analog joystick, in this case im setting up a deadzone with a case statement

RCValue is the variable from the joystick axis (between 0 - 4880)

CON
  deadzone = 100
  joy1y    = 4880

CASE RCValue       
       ((joy1y/2)-deadzone)..((joy1y/2)+deadzone)     : outa[2]~~
       RCValue > ((joy1y/2)+deadzone)                     : outa[2]~
       RCValue < ((joy1y/2)-deadzone)                     : outa[2]~

the first part of the case statement works perfectly, however the parts where RCValue is compared to be either grater than or less than is not working.

how is this done?

See page 59 - 61 of the propeller manual for a description of the case statement.

You need to remove "RCValue" from the last 2 lines for them to be correct.

Something like:

CASE RCValue       
   0..joy1y/2-deadzone                 : outa[2]~
   joy1y/2-deadzone..joy1y/2+deadzone  : outa[2]~~
   joy1y/2+deadzone..joy1y             : outa[2]~

but I would do it with if..else:

if RCValue < joy1y/2-deadzone
     outa[2]~
  elseif RCValue > joy1y/2+deadzone
     outa[2]~
  else
     outa[2]~~
