[NEST Users] Re: Writing an extension module with MyModule

Hi Raymond, You will find the MyModule code in the examples subdirectory in the nest-2.20.1 sources. For NEST 3, we have moved extension module code out of the NEST repository to its own: https://github.com/nest/nest-extension-module Instead of writing your own module to implement a kernel function for the NEST topology module, you might want to consider to switch to NEST 3 right away (using the sources from the NEST master branch). NEST 3 allows you to specify essentially arbitrary kernel functions at the C++ level. See https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/nest2_to_nest3/nes... https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/nest2_to_nest3/nes... https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/spatial/guide_spat...

However, I can't find such an example in my local NEST files, or in the github repository (https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator). Is there another location I should be looking in for this example, or would someone be kind enough to send me the necessary files?
