Oh yes, sorry I changed the i/o initializer list before making the screenshot in order to not confuse anyone who is reading this thread. I guess it's even more confusing now :-/
This is the sub-patch I'm using:
When I initilized all 5 inputs to signal rate, it didnt end initializing. In the console it didnt start to deliver the distance values at all. I will try to find out on what number of signal rate inputs this starts to happen, or maybe if it just takes a long time to initialize.
Edit:
Okay, it seems like inputs only work with signal rate if they get data on the configured pin. I have initialized a second digital in channel, but it only worked when I attached a second sensor. They currently work at the same time with this patch.
Edit 2: no this is not the end of the story, I dont know if what I stated is correct. Have to experiment a little.
