Adding lots of devices

[WORMSS]

I guess this is more a question than a "bug/issue"

I recently wanted to add 40 devices to the list, I thought I could save the file out to local, and manipulate it that way
but I was shocked to find the devices are not stored in a readable way, and are entangled in the link/url itself.

Is there a way to easily write all the devices I want and add them? or do I need to do them using the UI one at a time?

Of course, you can save the code And environment to a file and open it in the future or share it with friends :)

But, where are the "device" settings??
All I see is

and personally, I don't know how to read that off the top of my head.

You can load this file in ic10.dev and see devices again

[WORMSS]

..... I am not sure you are understanding me..
So
Step 1: I paste my script in to ic10 dev
Step 2: I add 2 devices (Battery1, Transformer1)
Step 3: I click Save file (downloads locally)
Step 4: I load that file into VSCode..
Step 5: ????????????
Step 6: Save that file, and load it into ic10 dev
Step 7: I now have Battery1-20 and Transformer 1-20 (40 devices in total)

What is Step 5 ???

[Red3Tango]

there is no Step 5 sadly, think of the "save file" as a non-editable file. (like opening a .exe or .png in vscode)

also setting up that many devices in a test environment (this tool), is a bit unorthodox. you are likely not directly interacting with 20 batteries, but using average, etc. in that case just setup 2 batteries on the site to simulate what you actually have.

though, having a human-readable save file (like json) would be very nice.

[WORMSS]

Nope, not using Average, the code sets up 40 different devices by pushing 40 predefined names into the stack so the chip can manage their states individually.
