pm485 component

Sorry, didn't know where to put this (I've been examining your python code)

with regards to linuxcnc.org/docs/master/html/drivers/pmx485.html

I noticed that the pins are listed as "bit" and are "float"

pmx485.mode-set (bit, in) #set cutting mode
pmx485.current-set (bit, in) #set cutting current
pmx485.pressure-set (bit, in) #set gas pressure
pmx485.enable (bit, in) #enable the component
pmx485.mode (bit, out) #cut mode feedback
pmx485.current (bit, out) #cutting current feedback
pmx485.pressure (bit, out) #gas pressure feedback
pmx485.fault (bit, out) #powermax fault code
pmx485.status (bit, out) #connection status
pmx485.current-min (bit, out) #minimum allowed current
pmx485.current-max (bit, out) #maximum allowed current
pmx485.pressure-min (bit, out) #minimum allowed gas pressure
pmx485.pressure-max (bit, out) #maximum allowed gas pressure

I am hoping that no one will mind if I use this as a bit of a template of sorts to try to create a matrix keyboard component for this thread:

Got to learn somehow I guess.

Thanks Phil
