# Dummy Input/Output Pin Implementations

This provides dummy implementations of the input/output pin [`embedded-hal`] traits.
This is useful when dealing with setups where a certain pin is handled by hardware in a way
that the software does not need to know about, for example.
In addition to the no-op, zero-cost `DummyPin`, this crate provides an implementation of `LastStateDummyPin`,
which stores the last state set at runtime and returns it when read.
## Usage
This example demonstrates how the same driver can operate with either a real or a dummy output pin.
```rust
use dummy_pin::DummyPin;
use embedded_hal::digital::OutputPin;
use linux_embedded_hal::SysfsPin;
struct Driver<P> {
output: P,
}
impl<P, E> Driver<P>
where
P: OutputPin<Error = E>,
{
fn new(pin: P) -> Self {
Driver { output: pin }
}
fn do_something(&mut self) -> Result<(), E> {
// ...
self.output.set_high()
}
}
fn main() {
// The same driver can operate with either a real or a dummy pin.
let real_pin = SysfsPin::new(25);
let mut driver_with_real_pin = Driver::new(real_pin);
driver_with_real_pin.do_something().unwrap();
let dummy_pin = DummyPin::new_low();
let mut driver_with_dummy_pin = Driver::new(dummy_pin);
driver_with_dummy_pin.do_something().unwrap();
}
```
