Port Matrix component

Create an accurately spaced array of up to eight components, each corresponding to a pin of the chosen port. If the cloned component has a property called 'pin', this will be set the the corresponding pin of the matrix port, and the component will behave as if it were connected directly to that pin. If there are less than eight clones, the unused upper bits of the port will be masked out to allow them to be used by other components.

Macro reference

AllOff

AllOff
Turn off all used pins of the port (unused port pins are unaffected) 
- VOID Return


AllOn

AllOn
Turn on all of the pins in the array (unused port pins are unaffected) 
- VOID Return


BarGraph

BarGraph
Turns on the first N pins of the array - for generating bar graph meters etc. 
- BYTE Length
How many pins to enable. 
- VOID Return


GetHandle

GetHandle
Retrieves the object handle of the indexed clone. Returns zero for out of range indexes. 
- BYTE Index
Index of the object to get a handle for. 
- HANDLE Return


GetPin

GetPin
Read the state of the selected pin of the port. Returns false if the index is out of range (0..7) 
- BYTE Index
Index of the pin to read. 
- BOOL Return


PinOff

PinOff
Turn off the chosen pin of the port. 
- BYTE Index
Index of the pin to set within the port. 
- VOID Return


PinOn

PinOn
Turn on the selected pin of the port. 
- BYTE Index
Index of the pin to set within the port. 
- VOID Return


PinToggle

PinToggle
Toggles the state of the selected pin of the port.

Property reference

Properties
Simulation
Target Object
Choose an object that will be duplicated for each required pin of the chosen port. The object should have a property called 'pin' to which the pins of the port will automatically be attached. 
Count
Number of objects in the matrix. They will be assigned pins from the chosen port sequentially, beginning with pin0. 
Alignment
Which 3D axis the cloned objects will be arranged along. 
Spacing
The distance between cloned objects in the matrix. 
Connections
Port
Choose a port to connect the matrix of objects to. Each will be assigned a single pin of the port automatically by the Port Matrix component.
