4 bits --> 16 outputs

Hi all-

What is the recommended method to take 4 7i76 input bits and make one of 16 gcode subroutines happen?

It seems as though I need the HAL equivalent of a BCD-to-decimal chip. I originally thought that weighted_sum would do it, but I haven't been able to figure out how to use the output to trigger MDI commands in my ini file.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

regards,
Patrick

There is such a component but only for 8 outputs: select8
it should be possible to combine 2 of these ( one enabled by /bit3 and
the other by bit3) to get a 1/16 decoder

Hi Patrick,

i do this with a component i wrote for it.

Hi.
mux16 does this...but it gives float/s32 output values, not bits

If it was me, I would probably just use classic ladder

You could use match8 with a count of 16 (I think) and connect the a bits to your inputs and setp the b bits for each instance...

There may be better ways though

Thanks very much Roland....I was just getting ready to (finally) learn how to write a new component, but now all I have to do is learn how to install yours! One step at a time....
