Clever applications for Computercraft turtles and computers?

[Shabazza]

Wow that sucks, have you tried with Project Red Bundled cables? Works just like good old RP2 Bundled Cables.

I don't have this mod installed. And since it adds things to world generation, I will not install this on my FTB Direwolf server.
Have to try this in single player.
But afaik Project Red bundled cables do not connect to computers at all, like RedPower2 cables did. So probably the same workaround is necessary.

I'm atm writing a turtle tunnel program with every nifty feature i can think of. I try to make it as dynamic and user-friendly as i can.

Sorry if cross-posting is discouraged, but I felt these were clever and should be shared.

Build large multiblock structures, in this case an HP turbine for Reactorcraft:

Use fractal recursion for mining:

Well, Dire has done some pretty rediculous stuff with Turtles and Computercraft (If someone said this, sorry)
He's made:
-Direminer
-Automated Essentia (TWICE)
-Several Mystcraft portal networks for Forgecraft
-TiCo/Computercraft setup that fills an ender tank with any TiCo liquid at the touch of a button.
-Most recently, his MobfarmV2, which is pretty rediculous.
-Automated Bee Breeder (WAT)
-Terminal Glasses MFSU Monitor
-Probably something to do with Nuclear Reactors

The list goes on and on.

Personally I want to see someone make an Automated Infusion Altar using CC, Rednet, and Terminal Glasses.

I'm using basic computers from ComputerCraft as logic gates for redstone circuits instead of building them with repeaters, comparators, pistons, torches and stuff.
They are very cheap and the reaction is instant and can be varied in every way.

Expanded Redstone ahd Project Red both provide single block circuit components.

none can be as complex as what you can do with a bit of lua

Logic gates are not complex. They perform a single function. I agree computers are better for complicated items.

Has anyone some existing setups that they are willing to share for energy cells?

I have a bank of 33 resonant energy cells. I would like a simple 1x5 computercraft display that will display total energy stored, Rf in, RF out, and time to depletion.

I would assume that I need a wired modem for every cell, however I do not know how I go about reading all of them in an efficient manner.

Thanks!

just keep as they come from peripheral.find and then loop over them and add together the getEnergyLevel (whatever it is called)

Should I be able to hook a wired modem directly or do I need to use the interface box

Here is my first take. It periodically checks for new energy cells.

Any suggestions for how to tackle display formatting like commas in the numbers and also having the display change from seconds to minutes to hours to days depending on the size of the number?

Spoiler

EDIT:
Here is my v1.1

It adds number formatting.


Thanks,
