-//! # Circular Converter
-//!
-//! This module provides the `CircularConverter` which handles transformations between
-//! linear and angular measurements for circular motion systems.
-//!
-//! ## Usage
-//!
-//! The `CircularConverter` is designed to work alongside other converters:
-//! - Use `AngularStepConverter` for angular-to-step conversions
-//! - Use `LinearStepConverter` for complete linear-to-step conversions (uses `CircularConverter` internally)
-//! - Use `CircularConverter` directly when you need linear-to-angular conversions without steps
-//!
-//! ## Examples
-//!
-//! ```rust
-//! use control_core::converters::circular_converter::CircularConverter;
-//! use uom::si::{f64::{Length, Velocity}, length::meter, velocity::meter_per_second};
-//!
-//! let converter = CircularConverter::from_radius(Length::new::<meter>(0.1));
-//! let velocity = Velocity::new::<meter_per_second>(1.0);
-//! let angular_velocity = converter.linear_to_angular_velocity(velocity);
-//! ```

-/// Makes the current thread a real-time thread using the PREEMPT_RT capabilities of Linux.
-///
-/// This function configures the current thread with real-time scheduling properties by:
-///
-/// 1. Setting the scheduling policy to SCHED_FIFO (First-In-First-Out), which is a real-time
-///    scheduling policy that allows the thread to run until it voluntarily yields, blocks on I/O,
-///    or is preempted by a higher-priority real-time thread.
-///
-/// 2. Setting the real-time priority to 80 (on a scale of 1-99, where higher values indicate
-///    higher priority). This priority level is chosen to be higher than most IRQ handlers
-///    (typically priority 50) but lower than critical kernel tasks (priority 99).
-///
-/// When running on a PREEMPT_RT patched Linux kernel, this combination provides deterministic
-/// scheduling with minimal latency, which is essential for real-time applications.
-///
-/// # Requirements
-///
-/// - The program must run with appropriate permissions to set real-time priorities.
-///   This typically means either:
-///   - Running as root
-///   - Configuring `/etc/security/limits.conf` to allow the user to set real-time priorities
-///
-/// - The system should be running a Linux kernel with PREEMPT_RT patch applied for
-///   optimal real-time performance.
-///
-/// # Example
-///
-/// ```ignore
-/// fn main() {
-///     // Lock memory to prevent page faults
-///     lock_memory();
-///     
-///     // Create a thread and make it real-time
-///     std::thread::spawn(|| {
-///         set_realtime_priority();
-///         
-///         // Real-time code here
-///     });
-/// }
-/// ```
-///
-/// # Returns
-///
-/// - `Ok(())` if the real-time priority was successfully set
-/// - `Err` with the error message if setting the priority failed

-/// Locks all current and future memory pages of the process into RAM to prevent page faults.
-///
-/// # When to call this function
-///
-/// This function should be called from the main thread, as early as possible in your program's
-/// execution, ideally before creating any threads and before allocating large amounts of memory.
-///
-/// Important: You only need to call this function ONCE per process, not in each thread.
-/// The memory locking applies to the entire process, including:
-/// - The main thread
-/// - All threads created after the call
-///
-/// This happens because all threads in a process share the same virtual memory space, and
-/// `mlockall()` operates on the entire process's memory space, not just the calling thread.
-///
-/// # Example: Correct usage
-///
-/// ```ignore
-/// fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
-///     // Call early in main, before creating threads
-///     lock_memory()?;
-///     
-///     // Now create real-time threads...
-///     std::thread::spawn(|| {
-///         set_realtime_priority();
-///         // Real-time code here
-///     });

-///     Ok(())

-# Beckhoff terminals and Machines
-
-For Beckhoff terminals you should first implement the basic functionality, then an Interpreter of the device/data is built on top.
-A good example of how to do this is by looking at the following code:
-el3021.rs , AnalogInputDevice
-
-El3021 implements a so called AnalogInputDevice, which acts like an interface.
-This allows us to use AnalogInputDevice instead of having to always specify which device should be used.
-In Essence any Device that implements AnalogInputDevice can be used.
-
-AnalogInputDevice is then used for creating an AnalogInput, which is plug and play for machines.
-
-Then a further layer of Abstraction is used on top,
-where the data is interpreted and incorporated into a sort of control loop for certain functions, for example:
-
-```rust
-// ScrewSpeedController controlls the speed (frequency) and direction of the motor
-// AnalogInput is used to collect measurements from the pressure sensor.

-This is desired behaviour for all implemented devices, the machines should stay as modular as possible.
-
-# Representing physical Units (Volt,Ampere,Hz,RPM etc)
-
-To represent physical units like voltage ampere etc... we use uom (units of measurement), which acts as a wrapper for units and supplies all conversions between certain units.
-For example:
-
-```rust
-// Lets say a device measures voltage, you just got the raw value
-let volts : ElectricPotential = ElectricPotential::new::<volt>(raw_value_here);
-// Then you can do this to get milli_volts
-// In api responses we always use the RAW float value (64bit):
-let milli_volts : f64 = volts.get::<millivolt>();
-```
-
-# General Advice
-
- Try to avoid duplicate code (DRY principle)
- Try to avoid lifetimes if at all possible
- Avoid excessive abstractions
- Avoid async code unless it is required
- Avoid taking Ownership of values, instead borrow the value
- When implementing a Trait for a struct, do it in the same file as the struct definition
- Split up large impl blocks into smaller impl blocks

-# Environment Setup
-
-Working on this repository requires you to use cargo and npm. In the following document the installation process will be shown
-
-## Ubuntu/Debian Installation
-
-```bash
-    # Just press enter when prompted
-    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
-    apt install npm
-    apt install nodejs
-    # assuming you dont have git already, Git setup not included in here
-    apt install git
-    git clone git@github.com:qitechgmbh/control.git
-    cd control
-    cd electron
-    npm install
-```
-
-# Running Backend and Frontend Linux
-
-## Backend
-
-To Compile backend code and run it on Linux:
-
-```bash
-./cargo_run_linux.sh
-```
-
-The script sets capabilities on the compiled binary like raw socket access.
-Here it is required that you are connected to atleast one machine that is communicated with over ethercat or usb/serial.
-The Most minimal working setup would be to connect over ethernet to an ek1100 beckhoff terminal.
-
-## Mock-Machine
-
-The Mock-Machine can be used to test code that does not require an actual machine connection.
-Like Frontend Code for example.
-
-Mock machines can be used if the compile feature mock-machine is enabled.
-
-```bash
-# in root git folder
-./cargo_run_linux.sh mock-machine
-```
-
-## Frontend
-
-To run the Frontend Code:
-
-```bash
-# need to be in the electron folder and an additional terminal
-cd electron
-npm run start
-```
-
-# Contributing
-
-Generally you contribute to the codebase by:
-
-1. Opening or Choosing an existing issue (Bug,Feature,Task etc)
-2. Work on it locally
-3. Commit your changes locally
-4. Before pushing changes, if there were changes on the master branch, rebase your branch like so:
-
-```bash
-git fetch
-git rebase origin/master
-```
-
-5. Push changes
-
-```bash
-# IF you needed to rebase
-git push --force-with-lease
-# ELSE you just push
-git push
-```
-
-6. Open a Pull Request on Github and link the issue by writing fix #issue_number, after the pull request is merged into master the branch is closed automatically
-7. Request a Review and hope for the best :)
-
-# Recommended Editor Setup
-
-We recommend you to use an Editor with rust-analyzer support like VSCode to speed up development and detect errors before compiling.

-# Presets
-
-To allow the user to save the current configuration of a machine, they can create a preset in the presets page. Presets are presited in electron's local storage.
-
-Presets are all handled by the `PresetsPage`. To use the `PresetsPage` for a single machine, one must implement the following.
-
-Create a zod schema for the data, the presets contain.
- ```tsx
-const mock1PresetDataSchema = z
-  .object({
-    frequency1: z.number(),
-    frequency2: z.number(),
-    frequency3: z.number(),
-  })
-  .partial();
-
-type Mock1 = typeof mock1PresetDataSchema;
-```
-Here, intensionally, `Mock1` is the schema type itself. It can be used as a type argument everything that uses presets.
-
-Next, create a map containing all schema versions currently supported (the new schema, to be precise).
-```tsx
-const schemas = new Map([[1, mock1PresetDataSchema]]);
-```
-New, the schema will be used to parse version `1`. To create new versions, see migrations below.
-
-One also needs to define a table, how the preset data should be shown to the user.
-```tsx
-const previewEntries: PresetPreviewEntries<Mock1> = [
-  {
-    name: "Frequency 1",
-    unit: "mHz",
-    renderValue: (data: PresetData<Mock1>) => data?.frequency1?.toFixed(3),
-  },
-  {
-    name: "Frequency 2",
-    unit: "mHz",
-    renderValue: (data: PresetData<Mock1>) => data?.frequency2?.toFixed(3),
-  },
-  {
-    name: "Frequency 3",
-    unit: "mHz",
-    renderValue: (data: PresetData<Mock1>) => data?.frequency3?.toFixed(3),
-  },
-];
-```
-`renderValue` gets the data itself and renders the corresponding part of it. Returning undefined will automatically be rendered as the value is not set, showing "N/A".
-
-Create a function for the new react component and use the appropreate machine.
-```tsx
-export function Mock1PresetsPage() {
-  const { setFrequency1, setFrequency2, setFrequency3, defaultState, state } =
-    useMock1();
-  // ...
-}
-```
-
-Here, two more functions need to be created.     const toPresetData = (s: typeof state): PresetData<Mock1> => ({
-    frequency1: s?.frequency1 ?? defaultState?.frequency1,
-    frequency2: s?.frequency2 ?? defaultState?.frequency2,
-    frequency3: s?.frequency3 ?? defaultState?.frequency3,The first takes in a preset and applies it on the machine. If data is missing, use the default defined by the backend.
-```tsx
-export function Mock1PresetsPage() {
-  const { setFrequency1, setFrequency2, setFrequency3, defaultState, state } =
-    useMock1();
-
-  const applyPreset = (preset: Preset<Mock1>) => {
-    const frequency1 = preset.data?.frequency1 ?? 100;
-    const frequency2 = preset.data?.frequency2 ?? 200;
-    const frequency3 = preset.data?.frequency3 ?? 500;
-
-    setFrequency1(frequency1);
-    setFrequency2(frequency2);
-    setFrequency3(frequency3);
-  };
-  // ...
-}
-```
-The later does the opposite, it turns a machine state, comming from the backend, into the preset data
-```tsx
-export function Mock1PresetsPage() {
-  const { setFrequency1, setFrequency2, setFrequency3, defaultState, state } =
-    useMock1();
-  // ...
-    const toPresetData = (s: typeof state): PresetData<Mock1> => ({
-    frequency1: s?.frequency1 ?? defaultState?.frequency1,
-    frequency2: s?.frequency2 ?? defaultState?.frequency2,
-    frequency3: s?.frequency3 ?? defaultState?.frequency3,
-  });
-  // ...
-}
-```
-
-Having all this, we can simple pass it to the `PresetsPage`
-```tsx
-export function Mock1PresetsPage() {
-  // ...
-  return (
-    <PresetsPage
-      machine_identification={mock1.machine_identification}
-      currentState={toPresetData(state)}
-      schemas={schemas}
-      schemaVersion={1}
-      applyPreset={applyPreset}
-      previewEntries={previewEntries}
-      defaultState={toPresetData(defaultState)}
-    />
-  );
-}
-```
-Also mind the machine identification, that has to match the machine we are using and the schema versionen. Here we pass `1`, as we also used `1` in the schemas map.
-
-## Migrations
-
-Migrations are handled by the `PresetsPage`, however, one still has to define what to migrate.
-To do so, first create the new schema.
-```tsx
-const fancyNewMock1PresetDataSchema = z
-  .object({
-    frequency1_now_with_ai: z.number(),
-    frequency2: z.number(),
-    frequency3: z.number(),
-    frequency4: z.number(),
-  })
-  .partial();
-
-type Mock1 = typeof fancyNewMock1PresetDataSchema;
-```
-and then, also create a migration that uses the new schema, but can handle the old format.
-```tsx
-const mock1PresetDataSchemaMigration: PresetSchema = z.preprocess(
-  (obj: any): PresetData<Mock1> => ({
-    frequency1_now_with_ai: obj?.frequency1, // Here, a field have been renamed
-    frequency2: obj?.frequency2,
-    frequency3: obj?.frequency3,
-    frequency4: 666.0, // A new field is added. Initialize it with default the value 
-  }),
-  fancyNewMock1PresetDataSchema,
-);
-```
-Usings zods preprocessing step,
-we can first transform the data as needed and then validate using the new schema accordingly.
-
-We have to register both schemas in our schema map.
-```tsx
-const schemas = new Map<number, Mock1>([
-  [1, mock1PresetDataSchemaMigration as Mock1],
-  [2, fancyNewMock1PresetDataSchema],
-]);
-```
-Mind the cast, which is ok, because `mock1PresetDataSchemaMigration` parses `fancyNewMock1PresetDataSchema` by construction.
-
-Lastly, simply change the schema version being passed to the `PresetsPage`.
-```diff

-## Using IO types in machine logic
+## Implementing for an `Actor`

-IO types now provide direct synchronous methods for reading and writing values, making them easy to use in machine logic without async/await patterns.
+The `act` function of an `Actor` will be called after the inputs are read from the device and before the outputs are written for the next EtherCAT frame.

+The actor needs to be constructed with the `DigitalOutput` and hold it in its struct.
 ```rust
 #[derive(Debug)]
 pub struct DigitalOutputToggler {
    output: DigitalOutput,
 }

-impl DigitalOutputToggler {
-    pub fn new(output: DigitalOutput) -> Self {
-        Self { output }

+
+Implementing the `act` function which will toggle the output every cycle.
+
+The `state` and `write` values are callbacks and must be wrapped with parentheses to be called.

 # Creating a new IO type
 To create a new IO type, we must know if it's writable (output) or readable (input), or combined (input/output) type.

-For output types, we define the struct with sync closures for setting and getting values:
+We first define the `DigitalOutput` struct with the `write` and `state` fields. Every IO needs a `state` field but only writable types need a `write` field.
+
+The `state` field is an async callback which returns the `DigitalOutputState` struct.
+
+The `write` field is an async callback which takes the value.

 ```rust
 pub struct DigitalOutput {
-    set_output: Box<dyn Fn(DigitalOutputOutput) -> () + Send + Sync>,
-    get_output: Box<dyn Fn() -> DigitalOutputOutput + Send + Sync>,
+    pub write: Box<dyn Fn(DigitalOutputOutput) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = ()> + Send>> + Send + Sync>,
+    pub state:
+        Box<dyn Fn() -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = DigitalOutputState> + Send>> + Send + Sync>,
 }
 ```

-For input types, we only need the getter:
+Next, we need to implement the `DigitalOutputState` and `DigitalOutputOutput` structs.

+The `DigitalOutputState` contains the timestamps of the output (and inputs if applicable) and the `DigitalOutputOutput` struct (and the input struct if applicable). This is the return type of `DigitalOutput::state`.
+
+The `DigitalOutputOutput` is both contained in the `DigitalOutputState` and is the input type of the `DigitalOutput::write` function. It implements the `From` trait in both directions to `bool` to allow easy access to the inner value on this simple type (as seen in the `act` example above).
 ```rust
-pub struct DigitalInput {
-    get_input: Box<dyn Fn() -> Result<DigitalInputInput, anyhow::Error> + Send + Sync>,
+#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
+pub struct DigitalOutputState {
+    pub output: DigitalOutputOutput,
 }
-```

-For combined input/output types, we have separate getters for input and output:
-
-```rust
-pub struct StepperVelocityEL70x1 {
-    set_output: Box<dyn Fn(StepperVelocityEL70x1Output) -> Result<(), Error> + Send + Sync>,
-    get_output: Box<dyn Fn() -> Result<StepperVelocityEL70x1Output, Error> + Send + Sync>,
-    get_input: Box<dyn Fn() -> Result<StepperVelocityEL70x1Input, Error> + Send + Sync>,
-    // ... additional closures as needed
-}
-```
-
-Next, we need to implement the input and output structs separately.
