How do I make a boolean converter send false when I stop dragging the JoyStick?

@Erissin_Industria4.0,

I cannot import your flow since the 'convert' node is unknown:

image925Ă—211 16.7 KB

Which node is that?

And is this related to your other question?

3

it's node-red-contrib-convert which hasn't been updated in 3 years.

@BartButenaers This same.

Please don't post the same question twice. That makes it very hard for us to follow up discussions...

Not sure how you can do that by using only core nodes (e.g. Switch, Change, ...).
I have not much time currently, so I have quickly implemented some javascript code in a function node:

var outputMessages = [
    {payload:false},
    {payload:false},
    {payload:false},
    {payload:false}
]

switch(msg.payload.direction.angle) {
    case "up":
        outputMessages[0].payload = true;
        break;
    case "down":
        outputMessages[1].payload = true;
        break;        
    case "left":
        outputMessages[2].payload = true;
        break;               
    case "right":
        outputMessages[3].payload = true;
        break; 
}

return outputMessages

So this function node sets all four outputs to false, except the output corresponding to the current direction of the joystick (which will be set to true).

Here is the entire example flow:
