I have a Laser Relay that has a Output on 'Powered' to start animating an arm to the up position. It also has a Output on 'UnPowered' that then lowers it.

All works well, but if you add a delay to the 'Powered' Output of say 5 seconds, then if you move the laser away from the relay while its in this 5 second delay, then it immediately triggers the 'UnPowered', which is fine, but the 'Powered' event is still running, and then runs in a few seconds when the delay runs out. So the arm is in the up position even though the relay isnt powered.

Am I doing something wrong?

Or is there some Output that I cant find that 'cancels' all delayed events, so I can call that first on UnPowered, before animating the arm to down?

The reason I have a delay, is that I have lots of panels to move to up, and I put a .20 delay in each one so they look 'different'.

Thanks,

Rob.

It sounds like you're controlling everything from the laser relay directly. Use two logic_relays to control your up/down motions, one for up and one for down, with the up one triggered by OnPowered and the down one by OnUnpowered from the laser relay. Give each one the CancelPending output directed at the opposite relay (so the up one fires CancelPending at the down one), activated OnTrigger.

Oh well, At least you have brought in more insight.

Thanks a ton for that... worked like a charm, just what I needed

I was doing all the work in the Laser Relay directly, now I have 2 Logic Relays and its fine.
