I need some help trying to set up my big reactor to automatically turn it self on and off. I do not have much experience using vanilla redstone or using rednet components, but I would like to set up the reactor to turn on when the internal battery gets below 10% and turn off when it gets to 90%. How would I go about doing that?

Well, first of all, we need the pack.
I could make a CC script for this, but if you're in ASHQ...

I am no PRC expert, but here is my attempt:

Basically take the magenta input and set var 0 to true if it is greater than 90 and var 1 to true if it is less than 10.

SR latch controlled by the 2 variables. Over 90 resets the latch to off. Below 10 sets the latch to on.

There is a wierd case where the reactor is at 0 energy the reactor does not output a 0, but a null value that is apparently not less than 10. I'll see if i can recreate it, but manually setting the reactor to on should get it into the latched cycle.

if you have project red installed, the circuit above will do exactly what you want

1) install 3 redstone ports

2) setup the ports
leftmost port: set this to turn reactor on/off via redstone signal
middle port: set this to emit redstone signal when power buffer is below 10%
rightmost port: set this to emit redstone signal when power buffer is above 90%

3) wire the circuit
use a project red rs latch, with output going to redstone port that toggles the reactor on/off
use jacketed wire to run wire from ports

4) ....

5) profit!
