Hello team,
So today, i'm coming to check for some help & advice on how to debug my current project.
The simulator i'm using for this project : Clic on me!
I'm trying to create a specific target for a shooting range project - It will be down range at 25m, and a remote wired box will hold the 2 position switch that is in front of the shooter, on the table.
When the shooter starts it's cycle, he switches ON the switch & goes on until switching it to OFF.
We're changing the state of the target that is in front of the shooter by piloting a Servo motor betwen 0 & 90°.
So there's what the projet should do 
- While the imput on pin 2 is HIGH (and stay's HIGH)
1: The target goes from 0° position (stand-by) to it's working position 90°
2: The target stay's at this 90° position for a random time that is betwen 2s & 8s
3: Once the random time is over, the target goes to it's stand-by position at 0° for random time betwen 2s & 8s
4: Once the random time is over, we start all this again.
This needs to work in a loop, the time the imput is HIGH.
As soon as the imput goes LOW, our target goes to it's stand-by position at 0° until the imput goes HIGH again.
I tried several way's to include my "process" into the loop, with IF's, ELSE's & IF ELSE conditions, but all the time i got stuck in one moment of the cycle, wich get unblocked by changing the switch position (From HIGH to LOW or LOW to HIGH).
Would you guy's maybe be kind enough to send me your though's & ideas ?
Thanks in advance.
