Yes I am sure it could and will. I had never coded python before and didn't want to code something so complicated untill someone had looked at/played with the work I had already done. I also wanted to think about the consequences of such a page and how it would be best handled. In short I was worried I couldn't do it justice and would create bad code and I had already done more then I told Jeff (the originator) I would. > > How about simply adding a bunch of comments to the hal file, such as: > #This port exposes the following pins for your use > #parport.0.pin-02-out > #parport.0.pin-03-out > #parport.0.pin-13-in > and so on... > > Dunno which hal file the comments should go in though. > > That would be handy as I can't always remember which pins are input and > which are output. You can change the comments to suit the port setup > (I/O or all input).That could be added to the readme as well as the list of signals that were created/connected. This information would be available using 'show' in halcmd but it might be handy in a readme too. whats's anyyone's opinion of this idea?
