Systems and methods associated for providing haptic feedback are provided. For instance, data indicative of a feedback scheme associated with an input mechanism can be accessed. The feedback scheme includes one or more feedback points associated with a position of a moveable portion of the input mechanism. The input mechanism is configured to change positions responsive to an actuation of the input mechanism by a user. One or more positions of the moveable portion of the input mechanism can be determined as the input mechanism is actuated by the user. Operation of one or more feedback motors can be controlled to provide feedback to the user in accordance with the feedback scheme based at least in part on the determined one or more positions of the input mechanism.

Systems and methods associated with modular computing environments are provided. For instance, a modular computing environment can include a control entity including one or more processing devices. The modular computing environment can include one or more modular components directly or indirectly coupled to the control entity. The one or more modular components can be configured to receive a module specifying one or more instructions to be performed by an external device. The one or more modular components include one or more processing devices. Each modular component is configured to determine state data associated with the modular component based at least in part on the received module and to provide the state data to the control entity. The state data includes an identification signature of the received module and a configuration context of the modular component within the modular computing environment.

Modular computing environment

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating a sequence of commands from interconnected code blocks. In one aspect, a system includes a sequencer block that connects to a sequence of coding blocks representative of a control flow and establish data communication with the sequence of coding blocks. The sequencer block includes coding circuitry that receives coding data from the sequence of coding blocks coding data, the coding data representative of instruction code to which the coding blocks corresponds, and generates from the received coding data command data that is representative of a sequence of commands that corresponds to a control flow of which the code blocks in data communication with the sequencer block are representative and a communication subsystem that provides the command data to a controlled system that is external to the code blocks.
