MUX8(9)

💖 MUX8(9) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about mux8 — a HAL component, and literally the moment you've been waiting for: select from one of eight input values. eight!! that's a whole two-to-the-third of them. the math is mathing. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mux8 — Select from one of eight input values

like, it's a mux. it has eight. you get it. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

loadrt mux8 [count=N|names=name1[,name2...]]

that's it, that's the whole vibe. load the thing, tell it how many copies you want or what to call them.

---

🦋 FUNCTIONS 🦋

• mux8.N — and listen, this one requires a floating-point thread. not a suggestion. not a gentle nudge. it needs the FP thread or it's simply not going to happen, i fear. 😭

---

👑 PINS 👑

• mux8.N.sel0 bit in
• mux8.N.sel1 bit in
• mux8.N.sel2 bit in

Together, these three little guys decide which inN value gets copied over to out. it's giving ✨selection committee✨.

• mux8.N.out float out

This one follows whichever inN the three sel values point at. lowkey the main character here. the mapping is:

• sel2=FALSE, sel1=FALSE, sel0=FALSE → out follows in0
• sel2=FALSE, sel1=FALSE, sel0=TRUE → out follows in1
• sel2=FALSE, sel1=TRUE, sel0=FALSE → out follows in2
• sel2=FALSE, sel1=TRUE, sel0=TRUE → out follows in3
• sel2=TRUE, sel1=FALSE, sel0=FALSE → out follows in4
• sel2=TRUE, sel1=FALSE, sel0=TRUE → out follows in5
• sel2=TRUE, sel1=TRUE, sel0=FALSE → out follows in6
• sel2=TRUE, sel1=TRUE, sel0=TRUE → out follows in7

eight inputs, eight outcomes, zero ambiguity. ate. 🔥

• mux8.N.in0 float in
• mux8.N.in1 float in
• mux8.N.in2 float in
• mux8.N.in3 float in
• mux8.N.in4 float in
• mux8.N.in5 float in
• mux8.N.in6 float in
• mux8.N.in7 float in

the whole squad. the full lineup. one of them is getting picked and the rest are just standing there looking pretty. 🫶

yeah bestie, there's a whole mux family — small mux, medium mux, absolute unit mux, and the one that does literally whatever you want. iykyk. 💜

so yeah. that's mux8. eight inputs, three selector bits, one output, and a truly flawless amount of ✨drama✨ for something that's basically a really fancy switch statement. go forth and multiplex, bestie. 🦋✨
