You can change the values in the parameters array at any time you want. The parameters array is accessible from a taylor_adaptive object via member functions such as get_pars() (for read-only access), get_pars_data() (for read-write access) and others, see here:
https://github.com/bluescarni/heyoka/blob/master/include/heyoka/taylor.hpp#L549
For instance, you can change the values in the parameters array at the end of each timestep via a step callback, explained here:
https://bluescarni.github.io/heyoka/tut_adaptive.html#time-limited-propagation
Another option is to use the event detection system - specifically, a terminal event which stops the integration whenever you need to change the parameters' values via an event callback:

Please let me know if you need further help/explanations.
Hello and thanks for this great project!
I notice that heyoka supports runtime parameters in its expression system. But what if the parameters has different values at different time steps? How can I handle this?
This is common in many cases. A particular scenario is propagating It requires to read planeteary ephemeris data and get the position of some planets at each time step to compute their perturbations. But it seems heyoka compiles the expression at the beginning and does not allow to change it during integration.
