Lua install

[seq303]

Hi, do I have to install Lua in addition? So print () and sleep () work in the editor? I work with the 5.4.29 on the PC WIN 7 64.

print(“Hallo World”) does not work in the Lua console.

Is there a guide or tutorial for the LUA Editor and LUA Console ?

Greeting Michael

I have ZeroBrainStudio
Here runs the code example without problems!

for i=10,1,-1
do
print(i)
end

for i=0,100,1
do
print(i)
end

In the Ctrlr LUA Console unfortunately not!
why?
What am I doing wrong ?

Info:

Version: 5.4.29

If you start with a new panel you can open the Lua editor (menu: Panel>Lua Editor). There you can add a new method and add your “test” code. In your code you can use the console to output data etc. to the console window e.g

console(string.format(“Weird char: %d, %d”, midiParam, i))

This code sends the text “Weird char:” plus the value (in this case) of the variable ‘midiParam’ to the console window.

This is a way to check your code. I think you cannot use the console window as input for Lua code, at least I never used it that way. To find about the way you can use Lua with a panel you should download a few panels with Lua code. This is the download link: http://ctrlr.org/panels/ (This link used to be present on the forum site (under downloads), but has recently disappeared for unknown reasons.)

s = 5

function sleep(s)
local ntime = os.clock() + s
repeat until os.clock() > ntime
end

Hi can I use sleep ()
Use in Ctrlr?
