Get difference between array values

Hello, I have an one column array (see below) with logical 0 and 1. I want to get the difference between each value to detect a jump from 0 to 1 and vice versa. I tried:
find(diff(test(:,1))>0.8)
but everytime I get an error named:
Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.
whos test:
Name Size Bytes Class Attributes
test 2420x1 2420 uint8
I also tried to convert test to logical or int but the problem still exists. Can someone help?

You can't store the difference from 1 to 0 in an unsigned integer; is there a reason you can't just use default double for test? You must use a signed integer, however.
Also, there's no need for the (:,1) subscript expression on a vector, and since the values are integer logicals, there's no need for the >0.8.
ipos=find([0; diff(test)]==10; % positive locations; augment to keep count same as original length
ineg=find([0; diff(test)]==-10; % ditto for negative

If test is a column vector then you need to use a semi-colon:
[0;diff(test)]
