Not exactly sure what you meant by "stay the same".  If, for example, you want to output a bang when there has
been no value sent to the input of "X" for one second, you could do this:

[int] <- equivalent of X
|
[b]
|
[del 1000]
|

If, however, there is a continuous stream of numbers being sent to "X" and what you want is to send a bang when
"X" has been receiving the same value for one second, you could do this:

[int] <- equivalent of X
|
[change]
|
[b]
|
[del 1000]
|

Subject: [PD] Detect a stagnate number

Hi everyone,

When I was learning ChucK I remember being able to do this with boolean logic: "Receive values from integer X. If X stays the same for a period of at least 1 second..." (to end this sentence in Pure Data) I'd like to send a single "bang". So I'd like to build something or find some object that "watches" a constantly changing number box and when it becomes stagnate (doesn't move from one number to the next) for a period of 1 second, I'd like to send a single "bang".

Thank you for reading my question,
Sebastian
