I have long sensor strip that send a continuous stream of #s. I use [split] nicely to say that a certain range on the strip should toggle a button. But it too easily toggles and detoggles, not reliable.

What's the simplest way to test how long the sensor's been sending a certain range of #'s, e.g. to set the sensitivity of the toggle?

ok, I made this which sort of does it - but is there a more elegant way?

I'm not sure this is more elegant, but I think it does a better job:

Curious, how come when I cut and pasted my patcher it came out all curly braces and so on, and yours looks so different and compact? Is there another way to cut and paste that does this?

In the Edit menu just underneath Copy there is Copy Compressed, which, um, does a compressed copy.
