Drop Target Bank

Related Config File Sections:

In MPF, you can combine multiple drop targets into drop target banks. The main reasons for doing this are to combine reset coils (since one coil typically resets an entire bank) and to get additional events posted when the entire bank is up, down or in a mixed state.

This is an example:

#! switches:
#!   s_drop_front:
#!     number:
#!   s_drop_middle:
#!     number:
#!   s_drop_back:
#!     number:
#! coils:
#!   c_drop_reset:
#!     number:
drop_targets:
  front:
    switch: s_drop_front
  middle:
    switch: s_drop_middle
  back:
    switch: s_drop_back
drop_target_banks:
  vuk_bank:
    drop_targets: front, middle, back
    reset_coils: c_drop_reset
    reset_on_complete: 1s
