Sometimes people express their support of an idea simply by not complaining about it. To answer the question proposed by the subject of this thread, there could be a new HAL component called perhaps memunit. In a .hal file, it would be started like this: loadusr memunit <name of database file to open> At startup memunit reads the database file and creates pairs of pins like: memunit.0.gear.in (connected to gearchange.0.sel for example) and memunit.0.gear.out (which would be used to set the initial state of the gearchange component) NOTE: Several other changes may be needed to make this work well. Some components like toggle may need to create a .initvalue pin, and the setp command would need to be extended so that you could rewrite configs/tormach/custom_postgui.hal like this: ******************************************************** net togout toggle.0.out not.0.in gearchange.0.sel pyvcp.highgear-led net togout memunit.0.gear.in <- New Line net logear not.0.out pyvcp.lowgear-led net gearswap toggle.0.in pyvcp.gearchange-button setp toggle.0.initvalue memunit.0.gear.out <- New Line net spindle-speed-raw pyvcp.spindle-speed-meter net spindle-speed-raw pyvcp.spindle-speed-number ******************************************************** I've not thought this through rigidly, so there may be a need for read/write signals (or R/W and LE) to the memunit, or it may be possible to otherwise economize on the scheme I've described. There may also be horrible unintended consequences which are glaringly obvious to everyone but me :) Thanks, Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the endpoint security space.
