My new electric object - Open source

[Ahmed_K]

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 !
