code help.

I am reading a pot for a configuration menu. Is there an easier way to spread out numbers over a pots range, as opposed using lookdown, lookup?

I have a number of lines of code like this, all with different lookups, it starting to cram my bs2e..

need to stream line, any ideas?..
min and max commands on a variable from rctime, will not do..

LOOKDOWN time, <= [3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45,48,51,54,57,60,63,66,69,72,75,78,81,84,87,90,
93,96,99,112,115,118,121,124,127,130,133,136,139,142,145,148,151,154,157,160,163,166,169,172,175,178,181,187,190,194], idx
LOOKUP idx, [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,
30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59], value

I don't understand what you're trying to do. In the case of the LOOKDOWN, it seems like you're trying to reduce a value from 0 to 194 into 1/3 of that range. How about just dividing the time value by 3? In the case of the LOOKUP, I just don't get why you need it. What's wrong with using MAX and MIN operators to set bounds?

The lookdown are values the pot returns, the lookup are digits displayed and written to memory.. in this case, 0-59..

i want to spread out the 0-59 across the full range of the pot. if i read the rctime, and apply min 0 and max 59 to the value returned, it ends up only using 1/3 of the pots full range.

this particular example is part of a function to set minutes to a clock in a setup menu, using a pot to determine the value, and a button to set it..

I'd use MIN to limit the raw RCTIME values to between 0 and 179, then divide by 3 to get values between 0 and 59.
