i'm looking to code it for SC but i'm not able to reproduce it.
Has someone already code it and willing to share
thanks
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Hi,
I tried the Step Ma (Compiled the cpp file to dll), but I can't even get close to what it should look like, the inputs are also not working :-( Not sure why..
It would be great if someone can recode the StepMA that TheWizard has coded. That is perfect..
Here is the code for NT-- I am not sure how to change it to SierraChart
