My new electric object - Open source

Ahmed_K — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 21:36:01 GMT

With 0 knowledge , i'm planning to start my first gdl object, a 2D switches for fast electricity plans.

Anyone wants to share thoughts, ideas, advices, it's all welcome, i will share the object, and anyone can work on it, open for all,

My main idea is to have in the interface an add buttom to add items , from 1 to N, : symbols number

Fragments to show and hide symbols, ( each symbol and text is a macro maybe ? )

the text field is a custom text inserted in the gdl interface parameters to tell the symbol fuction ( LED, spot, Fridge ...)

any advices to start ?

Thanks !

it would be nice if you can include a 3d element as well. See the attached gsm.
