Input concept

Think of Inputs like senses - taste, touch, sight, hearing… they are channels of incoming information about the environment in which your project operates. Practical examples include

• Switches and buttons
• positional sensors - like volume knobs
• proximity/distance sensors
• light sensors
• IR/RF remote controls

Inputs are often, but not always, associated with a physical electronic component. LCPF also supports “virtual” inputs such as

• DMX (Art-Net) device emulation
• Web page controls ¹
• Mesh connections to other LCPF projects ²

An input is source for incoming change.

• can be
• has an IODataType
• has a IODataType

Examples

• A switch, button, capacitive touch sensor, etc. can be an input
