FourPortRouterInfotron

This is a generic blueprint which let you route messages on specific output terminals, depending on message content. This is defined in the properties of the infotrons.

Sample Declaration

<div id="router1"
     impl="~0147b23e00865011dbb93d45b457cd1d4f"
     properties = "'out1': 'foo', 'out2': 'bar', 'out3': 'baz'  "
     script="http://localhost/Router.js">
</div>
## Dependencies + N/A ## Input Terminals + message_in: (expected message type: any matching defined proeprties) ## Output Terminals + out1, out2, out3, out4. Selects output terminal depending on which predefined data the input matches. ## Properties + out1 ... out4 with defined matching properties ## Demos that use it + N/A ## How does it work? When initalized, it associates strings with each output terminal. When a message appears on the input terminal, it routes it to the output port defined by the properties. ------
