I don't know the first thing about the "electrical math" behind this, so I only focused on the Storyline logic. Have a look at slide 2.1 in the attached. To illustrate how this might work, I moved the triggers that were attached to the Raise button to a separate layer (you could do the same for the Lower button). Once I enter 7000 into the text field, Raise layer is displayed (and hidden) several times, which recalculates the values, moves the dial and changes the states of lines. For this example, I hardset the Endloop counter to 4. You would have to calculate: a.) whether to RAISE or LOWER, based on the input value, and b.) the real number of times the appropriate layer should be shown, based on the input value. Hope that help.

Michael -
Again, thank you for helping me find the fix for my story. I thought I had it all worked out - although will be honest I am not sure I 100% understand the logic. Which leads to me now... it works fine for a few different inputs, but I can get it "stuck" - to where it won't do anything. I think this is because it is on a layer (such as Raise) and then the next value is entered into privoltage and there is no trigger taking it back to Base before going back to Raise so it just does nothing - as the timeline is not restarting on the layer. I totally understand if you don't have time to look at it, but it you do and are up for the challenge, would you mind taking another look and seeing if you can help figure out how to fix? For example, If i do the following:
Input 6900, it steps - Input 6900 again it does nothing because it is mid/end timeline
OR
Input 7600, it steps - Input 7600 again - same as above.
So I need it to be re-triggered every time a new value is put in regardless of the layer it's on I think....
I'm still playing with it and may figure it out on my own - in which case I will delete this post.
Thanks again for your help!
