Conditional Connectors
Hi,
Is there a way to have a connectors visibility be controlled by a value, either inside the modules schematic or from an external signal?
It would be neat to make them appear only when needed to avoid confusion when only a few signals may be needed, but then when a button is pushed, or a knob is turned, the connector appear (or disappear).
In this case, when the dial / knob is over 0.5, the connectors appear or disappear below 0.5... This could of course be a button, or just a value change external or internal to the schematic.
Thanks,
Aron

You can mimic the connectors (i.e. in a drawing of it in Flowstone) to respond as you want to do but not the real connectors no. I have done that in educational displays (i.e. made a *.exe file in Flowstone) for certain Electronics Schematics in which I want to show/display how certain things like switches etc. operate without having to use the Flowstone programme and its Schematics. Then in the background, I still use the actual Flowstone components to do the real thing apart from what is displayed on the face of the *.exe programme.
But, be cautioned it becomes a real spaghetti concoction!!

Re: Conditional Connectors
Hi Aron,
I don't know if this would help for your intended use, but expanding on what tiffy said (making displays or representations dynamic is possible, but you cannot dynamically change the actual number of outputs on a module), you can also make a Selector dynamically provide output options. Attached is a schematic that shows both approaches.
[Edit: I got bored and left the visual representation version very rough, but have now updated it.)

Excellent example thank you, Chris.

Re: Conditional Connectors
ChrisHooker,
Wow great example, AND it gave me another idea.
While I do want to turn on and off connectors, I really do not have to. I could just draw an indicator to show that a connector is a typical connection, or special only if...
Thank you so much,
Merry Christmas Everyone!
