Minimal Example

See minimal example files

# project_config.yaml - define what project needs
project_name:
    psu:
        class_name: 'Supplies'
        disable_on_destruct: False
        default:
            voltage: 12
            current: 0.5

# user_config.yaml - alter specific instance at end-setup
project_name:
    psu:
        class_name: 'Supplies.ManSup'

# example.py
# Simple example showing operation with power supply.
import brest

resources = brest.Resources("project_name", "user_config.yaml", "project_config.yaml", needed=["psu"])
psu = resources["psu"]

print(psu.voltage)
psu.voltage = psu.voltage * 2
psu.enable()

Branching strategy

Because Brest is a relatively small project, it uses a very basic branching strategy. All feature branches keep their history and merge into the 'devel' branch as merge-commits. If there has been a commit in the 'devel' branch while the feature branch was under development, the procedure is to merge 'devel' into the feature branch (as a merge-commit) to update changes and when the feature branch development is over, it can be merged with 'devel'.
