Users can view and test Hardware Peripherals under the “Peripherals” tab. Peripherals are only interactive when the debug mode is On to prevent interrupting live usage of the Exhibit. Debug mode can be toggled through the switch on the left of the Hardware device name. Usually, the debug mode will be off in production and on during development and testing. Doing this optimizes latency for local Exhibits and reduces load on the Gumband infrastructure.
When the debug mode is On, all peripheral values such as encoder information and button clicks are sent and updated in real-time in this view. When the debug mode is Off, all peripheral values and events are sent to the Exhibit.
