Re: MRS 2.0 Interface for VEX released
The scanning only happens when you DON'T specify a manifest. If you configure a manifest, it will use it as is. This is really not a big change from the existing system other than that it will create a working service rather than a dummy that does not connect to anything real. (e.g. you could create digital input 1, analog input 1, digital output 1 as the defaults with the prior system. Now they will be created with something that is real or not create the service if it is not configured.... again if no manifest is available.)
At some point I plan to make using a manifest on an 'outer' servic to force the controller to update the controllers configuration to match the outer service. Of course in that direction, if you used two different services that each went and tried to claim IO port 5, then who wins the actual configuration is up in the air.
