The Amazing Penguin Body Switch
penguin_body_switch.bpx
Turns Penguins' body into a virtual on/off switch
Penguin now has a software latching on/off switch
using this code! The program is part of the Virtual
Reality series, adding VR hardware to Penguin
using only software. It's also a compass program
in the code series.
Turn Penguins body to switch on or off! Now you
can control sections of code, turning things on or
off, using this technique!

' This is a virtual on/off switch using Penguins' body and compass. ' To turn on the switch, move Penguins' body until it faces North. ' A high pitch tone is heard. To turn off the switch, move Penguin ' to South. A low pitch tone is heard. The switch is latching. Once ' it's on, it stays on until switched off. The switch condition is ' reported to the Debug screen. ' The tone will sound when the body is within the specified range. ' When the target body switch position is precisely reached, the tone ' will become steady. To squelch the tone, the body is offset. ' This program requires compass calibration. ' 90 - East ' 180 - South ' 270 - West ' 360 - North ' If the compass angle is from 0 to 5 ' or 355 TO 360 then switch on (North). ' If the compass angle is from 175 to 180 ' or 180 to 185 then switch off (South) ' Expand the code to create a VR multifunction switch, and turn ' multiple elements on and off!
