Light Switch on the Web!

We've added a feature to the Cell Matrix MOD 88 online page: You can now turn on or off a light in the room with the boards, allowing you to get a better look at the boards themselves, or just the LEDs. Once you've logged in (by clicking the GO button), you can use the command

L 1

to turn the light on, or

L 0

to turn it off. You can also click the Flip the Light Switch button above the image to toggle the light's state.

Note that the light is automatically turned off whenever someone logs in.

We've also added additional initialization upon login: termination of any pending command files, truth table compilations, etc. But you still want to do a reset (“r”) yourself if you want to start with empty (all 0) cells.

We've added another bootable binary file called “hw.bin” This will configure the cells to display “Hello world” on the displays.
