States

States are a key component of finite state autmata. In Automaduino they are responsible for generating the code that is executed on the Arduino.

Overview

Component

The component this state will correspond to.

This button can be used to open the documentation containing more information about the expected input and other features.

Name

This field can be used to set a specific name for this state. The name will be used in the function generation and on the pin assignment screen.

Function

The function executed by this state. One component can have multiple functions. They are listed below each other in the component drawer.

Pin

If a pin was assigned it will show the number on the state. If not the value “unassigned” will appear and the pin warning is shown in the code editor.

Highlight Option

Highlight Action example

Automaduino features a highlight option to see which code corresponds to a specific state. To do this right click the block and select which part you want to see. This also works for transitions.
