Issue: Create a New Userspace Component for PoKeys in Subfolder 'pokeys_userspace'

Summary

The current pokeys.comp file is too large for Copilot Workspace to process effectively. To resolve this, a new userspace component implementation for PoKeys should be created and organized in a separate subfolder called pokeys_userspace. This will help manage file size limitations and improve modularity.

Task Details

1. Create Subfolder:

   • Create a new subfolder in the repository: pokeys_userspace.
   • This folder will contain the new userspace component implementation for PoKeys, which is based on pokeys.comp.

2. Copy and Refactor pokeys.comp:

   • Copy the contents of the existing pokeys.comp file into a new component file within the pokeys_userspace folder.
   • Refactor the code as necessary to split it into smaller, more manageable pieces, while ensuring that the overall functionality remains the same.

3. Improve Modularity:

   • Divide the code into logical sections (e.g., digital IO, analog IO, PEv2, counters, etc.), and implement these sections as separate files within the pokeys_userspace folder.
   • Ensure that the interface between different modules is clearly defined and adheres to LinuxCNC standards.

4. Link the New Component:

   • Update the build system or HAL file to include the new userspace component from pokeys_userspace.
   • Ensure that the new component can be called and used in the same way as the original pokeys.comp.

5. Testing:

   • Thoroughly test the new userspace component to ensure it works as expected.
   • Verify that all functionality from the original pokeys.comp has been retained and operates correctly in the modularized version.

Expected Outcome

• A new modular userspace component for PoKeys is created in the pokeys_userspace subfolder.
• The original pokeys.comp is broken down into smaller, logically organized files.
• The new implementation is tested and fully functional without exceeding the file size limits of Copilot Workspace.

Reference Files and Directories

• pokeys.comp (Original File)
• pokeys_userspace/ (New Subfolder)

Notes

• Modularizing the component will make future development and maintenance easier.
• Ensure that the new userspace component adheres to the same canonical interface as defined in the original pokeys.comp.
