One consequence of this change is that the "comedi number" of a device is no longer stable between reboots and we have to switch to using the /sys virtual file system to refer to specific hardware in a stable way. So wherever we used to see things like a "device number", or a "/dev/comedi0", we will now need to set a "deviceName" option with a path string like "/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:00.0/". This has been implemented in commits to the Pixelator repository on October 28th, 2025, and updating your installation after this date will require a change in configuration for both Pixelator and Orocos. -**WARNING**: This procedure involves compiling a new version of the Orocos modules, which will overwrite the previously compiled ones. Therefore, going back to a previous version will involve more than [just switching the stxm-directory link to the previous version](https://gitea.psi.ch/MicroSpectro/Pixelator/wiki/Update-Pixelator-Version.-#activate-a-different-version) since the old Orocos modules will need to be compiled again. +**WARNING**: This procedure involves compiling a new version of the Orocos modules, which will overwrite the previously compiled ones.
