Still having a lot of trouble understanding how the logic in this program works.
I was hoping that...
[0 \ ...if this number...
| \
| \
[== 1] [== 2] ...is turned to 1 or 2...
| |
[12 ( [0 (
| |
\ /
[0 \ ... this number should either be 12 or 0

this doesn't work.
This is one of multiple iterations of this wiring that just doesn't seem to work. I'm guessing this is a fairly simple logic issue that i am totally misunderstanding... would anyone be able to correct my error?

Connect a [print] object to the output of one of the [==] objects to see what it is doing, or read the help file.

If your number is equal to 1, then it outputs 1, otherwise it outputs 0. You also need to familiarise yourself with execution order - look at the [trigger] helpfile.

However, you might be better off using [select] as follows:

[0 \
|
[sel 1 2 ]
| |
[12 ( [0 (
| |
| /
| /
| /
[0 \

Yep, that worked a lot better. Before apparently the monitor kept spitting out "inlet: expected 'float' but got bang" messages
