I'm trying to determine how many toggle boxes are switched on (up to 14) in order to determine how many objects are on. What's the best way to do this? Currently I'm using an FTM external but it's fairly buggy.

put [if $i1==0 then -1] behind each toggle - then connect those to [accum]

I was unable to make this work, instead I made the statement [if $i1==0 then -1 else 1] and attached it to the middle inlet of [accum] but I also have to bang the first inlet every time a toggle changes.

When doing this in multiples instances (poly or multiples bpatchers), I store the value in a named coll. In the top patcher, I use dump and zl sum to get the sum of all the toggles.
