B4R Question Pin Input

[whcir]

I have to monitor 6 pins with switches on each pin. My question is what is the best way to do this.
Do I use a timer and pole with digitalread or do I use addlistener for each pin? What are the pros and cons using both methods

Thanks

You should use AddListener. It is simpler to implement.

You can use the same sub event to handle all pins:

pin1.AddListener("pin_StateChanged")
pin2.AddListener("pin_StateChanged")
 pin3.AddListener("pin_StateChanged")


Sub Pin_StateChanged (State As Boolean)
   Dim p As Pin = Sender
   Log("Pin: ", p.PinNumber, ", state: ", State)
End Sub

It's possible to AddListener to analog value? State as Int?
I try

SpeedMotor.Initialize(SpeedMotor.A0, SpeedMotor.MODE_INPUT)
SpeedMotor.AddListener("SpeedPotencjometr_StateChanged")

Sub SpeedPotencjometr_StateChanged(State As Int)
    Log(State)
End Sub

but status is only 25600 or 25601.
How to properly initialize the pins?

SpeedMotor.Initialize(SpeedMotor.A0, SpeedMotor.MODE_INPUT)
SpeedMotor.Initialize(0, SpeedMotor.MODE_INPUT)
SpeedMotor.Initialize(SpeedMotor.A0, SpeedMotor.AnalogRead)
SpeedMotor.Initialize(0, SpeedMotor.AnalogRead)

Read from the potentiometer.

No. You will need to use a timer or looper.
