Reply to "A Scripting Language you can use to control your MTH Engines"

As I posted on this thread:

I've been able to figure out how to access the RAM memory in the engine and what some of those memory locations mean.

Some words on my web page and a link to the current version of a document that I'm writing.

I've added several "Get" functions to my scripting language. Now, from the lua script, you can command the engine to go to a particular speed and then check that it has reached that speed.

I added:

 GetDirection(Engine, TIU);    -- return the direction as an boolean,
     -- true = FORWARD, false = REVERSE

 GetVolume(Chan, EngineNo, TIUNo);
     --  returns the volume level (0-100) of the channel given by Chan.

 GetSpeed(Engine, TIU);    -- return the set speed as an integer,
     -- engine may be accelerating or decelerating to reach this speed

 GetInstSpeed(Engine, TIU);    -- return the instantaneous speed of the engine

RAM(address, Engine, TIU);    -- returns the byte at the RAM address given as address.
