Hardware Simulator

The simulator offers digital and analog inputs and outputs. It offers to run simple example and test programs without the need of external hardware, see Tutorials. The wrapper library can be found in https://github.com/eeros-project/sim-eeros.
Currently the simulator encompasses a reflect device:

The available subdevices of the simulator

The input channels of subdevice 0 are output on the channels of subdevice 1 and similarly the same is true for subdevices 2 and 3. Every signal on input channel 0 to 10 is “reflected” onto its corresponding output channel 0 to 10.

Available Subdevices

Function	Description	Subdevice	available Channels
Digital Output	Outputs	0	0-10
Digital Input	Inputs reflected from outputs of subdevice 0	1	0-10
Digital Input	Inputs	2	0-10
Digital Output	Outputs reflected from inputs of subdevice 2	3	0-10
Analog Output	Outputs	4	0-10
Analog Input	Inputs reflected from outputs of subdevice 4	5	0-10
Analog Input	Inputs	6	0-10
Analog Output	Outputs reflected from inputs of subdevice 6	7	0-10

Configuration File

The possible configuration file for the initialization of the Hardware Abstraction Layer might be as follows:

{
  "device0": {
    "library": "libsimeeros.so",
      "devHandle": "reflect",
      "subdevice0": {
        "type": "DigOut",
        "channel4": {
          "signalId": "dout1"
        }
      },
      "subdevice1": {
        "type": "DigIn",
        "channel4": {
          "signalId": "din1"
        }
      },
      "subdevice4": {
        "type": "AnalogOut",
        "channel7": {
          "signalId": "aout1",
        }
      }
      "subdevice5": {
        "type": "AnalogIn",
        "channel7": {
          "signalId": "ain1",
        }
      },
    }
  }
}

Digital output on dout1 can be read at input din1, analog output on aout1 can be read at input ain1. The configuration could include scaling and range limiting for the analog channels as described in Configuration File.
