SmartComponent Comparer problem
Hi,

For some reason comparer SC don't reset the output when values A and B are equal.
See the image. Both inputs have value -1,00 and operator is != so output should be off, but the output stays on?

I have an other comparer and it's working as expected.
In both comparers the input values comes from (different) VectorConverter SC. it is working fine with the first comparer, but not for second comparer.
Any ideas why this is happening?
An other question. Is there any way to get object position, when NOT running simulation. PositionSensor SC seems to work only when running simulation.
regards,
Mika

Hi,I can't reproduce your problem with the comparer. But my suggestion is that you delete the comparer that doesn't work and then create a new.Regarding the PositionSensor is the answer no, you must run the simulation to update the PositionSensor. And in general you should always have the simulation running when you are using Smart Components, to be sure to get the correct behaviour.Best regards,
