I need some help from osum TPT electronics experts. Here's my problem:

So first of all, I have a really annoyingly complicated laser which I'm trying to make into the most multi-functional laser ^_^

For its next function, I've decided to try and implement a swerve function (to make it go up and down automatically and make waves). Since the laser already has manually operated up and down functions, I've decided to just add some electrics involving DTECs and SWCHs to make it automatic. I thought was a simple idea but it turns out it isn't (at least for me) and got me really confundled XD

Here is what I've come up with so far:

To see the problem, you need to unpause, choose beam colour (I suggest at least 2, use SPRK), choose a beam type ("L" is PHOT), turn on swerve (half yellow half purple button), then go either max up (yellow) or max down (purple).

I think the relevant Wifi channels (and their functions) for this particular problem in this save are:

• 1000 - Up
• 1100 - Down
• 7000 - Swerve button
• 7100 - At down, go up
• 7200 - At up, go down
• 7300 - Swerve SWCH1
• 7400 - Swerve SWCH2
• 7500 - Swerve SWCH On
• 7600 - Swerve SWCH Off

(the numbers are what I typed in in the set temp thing, the actual wifi values are these but 273.15 less)

The setup sort of works but instead of continuing to the other function (e.g. after up it should go down), it gets stuck and loops or something >_<

If someone could at least tell me: what I'm doing wrong/what I should do/an alternative way then I'd be extremely grateful. I'll give credit to involved persons after.

-------------------

On a sort of unrelated note, how could I make the laser smaller (screen width-wise as it takes up more than half of it) without sacrificing functions/efficiency?

Thanks for the reply :) I don't really want to use GPMP as I think it's a more archaic method compared to the PSTN system I used. See the PSTNs allows more control compared to just GPMP and I think this would benefit the swerve function I want to add as it will make it look wavier and smoother (if that makes sense lol). I just need the right electronics to do it >_<

 Wow, thanks loads for the help! Sorry i didn't get to check it out earlier. I'll try and make it smaller and I'll credit you for your work on it ^_^

Edit: I think I'm going to need to learn how to use these new FILT-based electronics because I have no idea how it's working XD but OMG I'm having soo much fun with this right now lol. Anyways, I seriously can't thank you enough BTC, you are just simply osum.
