Synapses

Leaves are thought as connection to hardware, but sometimes it is not enough to connect a sensor and publish its controls and values. A classic example is the need to water a pot at fixed rates or depending on other sensor values (eg. temperature and humidity).

This is where Synapses helps.

Synapses are representing the logic of a board. Scope of those components is to let the user command not only the sensor and actuators, but also the logic of how they behave together.

Synapses and leaves

Synapses are currently coded as leaves. They differentiates only on the location, as they resides on grownode\synapses folder. All functionalities are completely identical to leaves.
