== Skeleton Games HD Programming Reference. ==<br />
<br />
This is meant to be a programming reference for commands, and simple snippets eventually. For setup and getting started with sample files start at: http://skeletongame.com/<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
Machine Config YAML: <br />
This is where you define your attached hardware sorted by board.<br />
<br />
PD-16 (coil-driver board)<br />
Define coils or flashers on the PD board Ax-By-z <br />
x=board ID (0-16) must not conflict with any other pd-led or pd-16<br />
y=bank on board bank A=0; bank B=1<br />
z=switch id on that bank (0-7) pin 1 is switch ID 0<br />
Tags; Need more detail whats all available, custom tags can also be used, see advanced section<br />
Example;<br />
<br />
trough:<br />
number: A0-B0-3<br />
pulseTime: 30 # the duration of the pulse, in ms. Default is 32ms<br />
plunger:<br />
number: A0-B0-4<br />
tags: autoPlunger<br />
pulseTime: 30 #pulsetime is optional<br />
<br />
<br />
SW-16 (switch input board)<br />
Switches can be Optos or standard, there are certian name reserved for special cases<br />
''trough1'' (or Trough1) must be numbers at end for each ball. <br />
''troughJam<br />
shooter <br />
startbutton<br />
tilt<br />
exit<br />
down<br />
up<br />
enter''<br />
<br />
Example;<br />
PRSwitches:<br />
# **** Format ****<br />
# name:<br />
# number: <number><br />
# type: <type><br />
#<br />
# <number> SW-16 board ID multiplied by 16 plus switch number. ID-0 bank-A Switch-0 is "0". The second bank adds 8 or range is switch 8-15<br />
# <type> can be: 'NO' (normally open. This is the default; so no need to use this)<br />
# 'NC' (normally closed. Common for optos)<br />
flipperLwL:<br />
number: 8<br />
ballsearch: stop<br />
throughJam:<br />
number: 37 #21<br />
type: NC<br />
ballsearch: reset<br />

StandUpRight:<br />
number: 41 #25<br />

PD-LED<br />
LEDs can be single color or RGB<br />
#################################################################<br />
# LED numbering format: Ax-Rr-Gg-Bb<br />
# x = PD-LED board address<br />
# r = LED output number connected to the red input of an LED<br />
# g = LED output number connected to the green input of an LED<br />
# b = LED output number connected to the blue input of an LED<br />
#################################################################<br />
bonus01:<br />
number: A3-R0-G1-B2<br />
polarity: False<br />
tags: bonusMatrixLED<br />
label: '001 Bonus 1k' <br />
startButton:<br />

== Coil ==<br />
<br />
enable coil - self.game.coils.''coilname''.enable() - are there any arguments for this?<br />
turn on full power, usefull for lamps, warning can fry coils.<br />
enable coil - self.game.coils.''coilname''.disable() - are there any arguments for this?<br />
turn off power.<br />
pulse coil - self.game.coils.''coilname''.pulse() - are there any arguments for this? <br />
pulses coil with either default pulse or defined pulse in config YAML.<br />
pulse on pattern - self.game.coils.''coilname''.schedule(schedule=0x80808080, cycle_seconds=0, now=True)<br />
activates coildriver on a on off pattern.<br />
-schedule - 8 digit pattern based on intensity can be 1-f<br />
-cycle_seconds - no clue here<br />
-now=True/False - assume start time?<br />
<br />
Example;<br />
self.game.coils.becon.enable()<br />
self.game.coils.becon.disable()<br />
self.game.coils.magnet.pulse()<br />
self.game.coils.scoopflasher.schedule(schedule=0x80808080, cycle_seconds=0, now=True)<br />
