Using a Stepper as Diverter

Related Config File Sections:

• diverters:
• steppers:

You can use a stepper as a diverter by tying it into a diverter using events. Specifically, we are using diverter_(name)_deactivating and diverter_(name)_activating. This is an example:

#! switches:
#!   s_ball1:
#!     number:
#!   s_ball2:
#!     number:
#! coils:
#!   c_eject1:
#!     number:
#!   c_eject2:
#!     number:
#! ball_devices:
#!   bd_trough:
#!     eject_coil: c_eject1
#!     ball_switches: s_ball1
#!   bd_target:
#!     eject_coil: c_eject2
#!     ball_switches: s_ball2
diverters:
  d_diverter:
    debug: true
    feeder_devices: bd_trough
    targets_when_active: playfield
    targets_when_inactive: bd_target
steppers:
  s_diverter:
    number:
    named_positions:
      20: diverter_d_diverter_activating
      400: diverter_d_diverter_deactivating

This diverter will not wait for the stepper to reach the position. If you need that let us know in the forum.
