Macro and multi command button execution sequence

[lvanoli]

When you run a macro or more commands that are connected to a button the execution of the commands and programs lua does not occur in sequence.

This is the .ini:

[buttons.Ifly 737]

6=CP(+Y,9)Y,14,CM1:2,0

7=CP(+Y,9)Y,15,CM1:1,0

8=CP(+Y,9)Y,16,CL2:R,2

9=CP(+Y,9)Y,17,CL2:R,1

10=CP(+Y,9)Y,18,CL1:R,0

11=CP(+Y,9)Y,18,Cx02009400,x0002

12=CP(+Y,9)Y,18,CL1:R,0

13=CP(+Y,9)Y,18,Cx02009400,x0005

14=CP(+Y,9)Y,18,CL1:R,0

15=CP(+Y,9)Y,18,Cx02009400,x0008

16=CP(+Y,9)Y,19,CL1:R,0

17=CP(+Y,9)Y,19,Cx02009400,x0001

18=CP(+Y,9)Y,19,CL1:R,0

19=CP(+Y,9)Y,19,Cx02009400,x0004

20=CP(+Y,9)Y,19,CL1:R,0

21=CP(+Y,9)Y,19,Cx02009400,x0007

[MacroFiles]

1=ifly737

[LuaFiles]

1=WaitOffset

2=Ifly737LndLight

3=ipcDebug

this is the macro ifly737:

[Macros]

Module="iFly737-700.GAU"

1=LndLightOn

1.1=CL1:R

1.2=Cx02009400,x0001

1.3=CL1:R

1.4=Cx02009400,x0004

1.5=CL1:R

1.6=Cx02009400,x0007

2=LndLightOff

2.1=CL1:R

2.2=Cx02009400,x0002

2.3=CL1:R

2.4=Cx02009400,x0005

2.5=CL1:R

2.6=Cx02009400,x0008

This is lua program WaitOffset called in the macro:

while ipc.readSW (0x9400) ~= -1 do

ipc.sleep(20)

end

This is the log:

This is right?

This is right?

Without spending more time than I have trying to analyse what you are doing here, I cannot advise. Perhaps you could point out what you think is wrong more explicitly?

Before that, please note that Lua plug-ins run independently of everything else. Your entries merely load and start them. They are running in their own threads in their own time.
