I'm having a real hard time on something I thought would be very simple. I've probably been staring at it too long and would appreciate some help…

I'm trying to read accelerometer data and on pressing a button I want to start moving from the value that was stored previously when I had let go of the button. So on letting go of the button I want to remember that position and use that as the base position for the next time I press, regardless of where I moved to when not pressing the button. Not sure if I'm explaining myself clearly. Hopefully the patch is clearer.

The example patch is with [mousestate] and a slider to simulate the accelerometer data and button I'm actually using. I've tried to simplify it as much as possible to share here…

Everytime I try something different and think I've cracked it, I end up with similar issues and it's driving me crazy. I feel like I almost have it, but it's outputting the last value and jumping to there :-/

Thanks for any help!
