It's seems you are stuck with the 12288 | by aix tom | 2004-12-15 14:59:54 |

Is set up each of the 16 inputs with a bitfield that says what formats they support, and the outputs with the same.
Then a list of converters from <format bitmask> to <format bitmask> with their input and output ports. In fact, they'd be a flag on the format bit mask.
Then could do the nice, simple 16x16 grid everyone tells me about. Code checks the formats. if( (input & output) == 0 ), then find a route through a converter. If someone pushes the Hidef button , it changes the mask of that output, and the routing pattern automagically changes.
Programming is currently an array of 12,288 bytes with no automation. At least I've defned input and output enums from 0-16 (including no input).
Problem is that doesn't take into account the Hidef button which alters the routing table. In theory it could invert every routing in the system, and you'd need another 12,288 entries.
Then what happens if you have 2 buttons!!!!
Wibble!!!
What I'd really like to do is a nice graphical front end that allows you to to add up to 16 control heads of the types we manufacture, then set up various buttons for the varous functions. Then generate either the data as a .hex file for download to the micro or as arrays in C for me to compile in for each customer.
<sigh> Nice dream. this is supposed to be flying by New Year. At least it's the last software task on the bird. |
