Hickory Wizard - operator control input definitions

Post by spumco »

While setting up a new Hickory installation, I've come to realize the Hickory version of the Wizard seems to be missing quite a few available input definitions compared to Acorn/Acorn6.

CycleCancle2 and CycleStart2 are available in Acorn, not available in Hickory. This means no easy way to add external hardware buttons for operator panel functions/controls.

Similar for the USB-BOB add-on. There are many hardware input functions available when the USB-BOB is connected, but they don't appear available when Hickory is by itself.

I would think the input functions are, more or less, board/hardware agnostic. If I'm right there's no reason the input functions couldn't be available in the Hickory wizard.

Or am I looking in the wrong place? If a Centroid insider has some info on what the intended process is to add hardware console buttons to Hickory is I'd appreciate it. I've got a few buttons I want to add:
Cycle Start
Cycle Stop
Door Open/close
et.

Thanks
