This repository contains an example extension module (i.e a "plugin") for the NEST Simulator. Extension modules allow users to extend the functionality of NEST without altering the source code of NEST itself, thus making pulls from upstream easy, while allowing to extend NEST and sharing the extensions with other researchers.
For the full documentation of this feature and further instructions, please see https://nest-extension-module.readthedocs.io/.
Attention!
Please note that the code in this repository will not work with NEST
versions earlier than NEST 3.10. The extension module is generally
kept adapted and up-to-date with the NEST main branch on
https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator as well as the latest
NEST release (starting from NEST 3.10).
For extension modules that support older versions of NEST, please browse
the history of this repository. For support for 2.x versions of NEST, see
the extension module example in examples/MyModule of the source
distribution.
