💖 EDGE(9) — HAL Component 🎀

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about edge — the Edge detector for HAL. yes it's a whole manual page for a component that just... looks at edges. and honestly? iconic. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

edge — Edge detector 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

loadrt edge [count=N|names=name1[,name2...]]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. load it with a count or give your instances cute little names, your call 💅

✨ FUNCTIONS ✨

  • edge.N — Produce output pulses from input edges. that's the entire job description and she does it flawlessly 🔥

✨ PINS ✨

  • edge.N.in bit in — the input. she's watching this one. 👀
  • edge.N.out bit out — Goes high when the desired edge is seen on in ⭐
  • edge.N.out-invert bit out — Goes low when the desired edge is seen on in 💀 (yes, the opposite. that's the bit. literally the inverse twin.)

✨ PARAMETERS ✨

  • edge.N.both bit rw (default: FALSE) — If TRUE, selects both edges. Otherwise, selects one edge according to in-edge. lowkey a choose-your-own-adventure 🎀
  • edge.N.in-edge bit rw (default: TRUE) — If both is FALSE, selects the one desired edge: TRUE means falling, FALSE means rising 🍓 (yes bestie, TRUE is falling. no cap, that's just how it is.)
  • edge.N.out-width-ns s32 rw (default: 0) — Time in nanoseconds of the output pulse ⏱️
  • edge.N.time-left-ns s32 r — Time left in this output pulse 🌸
  • edge.N.last-in bit r — Previous input value, for when you wanna remember what just happened 🙈
