Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Question # 3.14E159
Can I get a knob to wrap around like a button increments?
So when the knob reaches 127 it will go back around to 0.
I am using a knob on the BCR2000 to select a list of waveforms for a
synthedit synth.
but... it gets the end of the list and is stuck there.
Suggestions?

Sort of a pi in the sky question?

Yes - sort of
If you set the range .minmax 0 >127 it will wrap round .
The bigger the number the more times it will wrap.
eg The highest value...

.minmax 0 $3FFF

val7.13     val0.6 (same as val)
0000 0000   0111 1110  (126)
0000 0000   0111 1111  (127)
0000 0001   0000 0000  (128)
0000 0001   0000 0001  (129)
0000 0001   0000 0010  (130)
etc

The other alternative is to set the quick resolution very high

.resolution 20 96 200 $3fff
a quick back twist and it's at 0

That works fine! A little strange at first ...
Thank you again!
So... how do you know that $2000 is a midpoint?

I know what your thinking...
This guy needs to learn how to convert his bases.
Can you recommend a good site for learning, this all seems to come 
down to that. Converting bin to hex and knowing the decimal.

Thanks, 
Kip

If you are running Windows, the standard calculator which comes with all versions of Windows will convert between bases.  under the View menu in the Calculator app, set the view to scientific, then you can easily swap between decimal, hex, and binary.
