random
nkrkv/random/random
Generates pseudo-random numbers in range [0; 1). Uses a linear congruential generator algorithm.
random
@/random
Generates pseudo-random numbers in range [0; 1). Uses a linear congruential generator algorithm.
SEEDnumber
A new seed value for the generator in range [0; 1]. Used only on `RST` pulse.
RSTpulse
Initializes the generator with a new `SEED` value. You should initialize with a truly random value at least once (usually on boot), otherwise you’ll get the same number sequence on each program run.
UPDpulse
Triggers output update, that is generates the next pseudo-random number.
OUTnumber
The last pseudo-random value in range [0; 1)
