I have been working on several simple versions of this code, trying to learn as I go.
Some of you have helped me in the past recently and I appreciate that a lot, but I am still trying to learn other things so I am using the same project to do this.
While working through this code I came up with something rather strange that I can't work out why.
There are two parts of the code that are almost identical, one part works fine and the other part a section of it is really off.
I am referring to the w4 section of the code which is suppose to reduce by 10 on each cycle, but it does not. I have commented in the code where.
The best way to see what I am talking about is to run the code in the simulator using the c.1 slider to change the light value from say 110 to 90 to give a simulation of either day or night. It is the night time cycle that has the problem. I have commented out some of the values to a lower value of some settings to reduce the timing for simulation speed.
I just want to know why this is happening, not to have a complete re-coding done as I am using this example in my learning.
