Hi Andypugh,
thanks for the info. I never tried to compile my own component so far, but you are right, it's quite simple...
For some reason (i don't understand why) the round function of math wasn't working, so i great a small workaround.
Code:
component roundx "round the input value to a specified number of decimal places";
pin out float out "input rounded for X decimal places" ;
pin in float in;
param rw unsigned decimal = 1 "number of decimal places";
function _;
license "GPL"; // indicates GPL v2 or later
;;
#include <rtapi_math.h>
FUNCTION(_) {
float tmp = 0;
float rest = 0;
unsigned exp_ = 0;
exp_ = pow(10,decimal);
tmp = exp_ * in;
rest = tmp - floor(tmp);
if(rest >= 0.5){
out = (floor(tmp) + 1) / exp_;}
else{
out = floor(tmp) / exp_;}
}
Thanks, I enjoy the linuxcnc more and more each day
Matthias
