# Summary

Easily write to GP registers via Java API

# What is it?

Currently you can only access named registers, but cannot change their value. I would like to be able to easily set their values without having to go through the hassle of implementing the RTDE.

# Why is it needed?

Writing to the registers is needlessly complex from Java, with needing to implement a daemon to run the RTDE to map the signals. Having a .setValue() method in the API would make things MUCH simpler.
