Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to configure a reconfigurable device. In an illustrative example, a device programming module (DPM) of the reconfigurable device may receive a user input indicating a model number of a legacy device. The DPM, for example, may identify the user-selected functions based on a first set of rules to determine predetermined functions of the legacy device. The DPM, for example, may generate a binary machine instruction code to configure the reconfigurable device to perform the identified predetermined device functions. The DPM may then transmit the binary machine instruction code to the reconfigurable device such that the reconfigurable device is configured to operate as the legacy device identified. Various embodiments may advantageously eliminate a need for studying the complete functionalities of the legacy device before programming the reconfigurable device, and a need for assigning unique part numbers to replacements of the legacy devices.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to detection systems with chatter-mitigated output indication. In an illustrative example, a sensor may generate a detection signal as a function of a physical relationship of a target to the sensor. A control circuit may, for example, generate a control signal in response to the detection signal and as a function of a predetermined indication response profile defining a transition threshold for each of multiple nominal transition points. A light-emitting indicator array may, for example, generate spatially distributed indication in response to the control signal. The indication may, for example, change from a first spatial distribution to a second spatial distribution in response to the detection signal crossing a first nominal transition point by at least a corresponding transition threshold (?1i). Various embodiments may, for example, advantageously prevent the visual indication from responding to perturbations in the detection signal.
