Multiswitch component, one button multiple outputs

Hi Andy,

Personalities and modparams are not something I have played with yet in .comp programming.
The components I have written have been either, only intended for use as singletons, or I have manually set params etc.

It didn't make complete sense until I expanded the macros and generated a C file.

You polish it and publish as your own, there is nothing in there of mine, save the concept, which is hardly unique.

regards

Indeed. I am using at least two undocumented features there.
It is a pity that there is no way to omit "personality" from the auto-generated docs in cases where you are not using it (actually, it would also be nice to be able to alias "personality" to a modparam name of your choosing.

where can i find other .comp files i need or2 and probably others not sure yet till i get hal to load past the or2 that i dont have.

You just need to load them with loadrt in your configuration file.

For example

loadrt or2 count=2

loads 2 or2 components.

Some good reading...

Hi

Just to clarify, multiswitch is a custom component, just recently written, may or may not make it into a distribution.

To use it you need to download it from the link, compile and install it.

or2 and dozens of other components ARE part of the emc distribution, a full list of them linked to descriptions is here.

You already have the compiled module in /usr/realtime-2.6.32-122-rtai/modules/emc2/or2.ko, you just need to to load and connect it in your .hal file, in accordance with whatever you are using it for.

Or2 docs I have but I didn't have the or2.lo in the right folder and couldn't find it in my folders I found it on the git source tree and compiled it thanx you guys
