Direwolf20 1.7.10 v1.0.3: EnderIO & Nuclear Control ?!?

[McPhisto2051]

hi everyone,

is it possible 2 connect the nuclear control card to an ender io capacitor bank, so that we can see on monitors the capacity bank energy?

the capacitor bank is faar away but i wanna see its energy directly (i didnt want to built an power monitor and click on it everytime to see the energy stored...)

I doubt @xbony2 have gotten that far with Nuclear Control to include RF support yet(if that is even planned). But you can always try with one of the energy kits.

You would have a much better change with ComputerCraft though I think. It is relatively simple to read out information from the Capacitor banks. And if it is within cable distance you can with ease write it to a multiblock monitor.

RF support is upcoming to counters. Not much more then that.

so it actually doesnt work? damnit...
im bad at lua and can only let a turtle do small things...

DireWolf20 setup a awesome computer program that both lets you moniter your reactor and capacitor bank even has a autostart thing to it once it gets to low. Its on his most recent server play series

I don't have a dedicated script to monitor capacitor banks yet(I might write one soon actually), but wrote a script a while back to trigger reactor/engines/dynamos etc. depending on energycell/capacitor bank energy levels, which also displays the storage on a 1x2 monitor if you add one.

You can probably scavenge that code to do what you want. It contains all the bits to auto detect the capacitor bank and monitor on both adjacent attached and networked modem.

thx midgetassin and rhn ill try both.
rhn i think i mostly understood your prog.
where do i change it to output it to unlimited connected monitors?

and more important: how do i connect the computer to the capacitor bank?

i tried the computer before the capacitor bank directly and also with a wired modem on both sides (bank and computer)

You can connect it up like this if you want:

Just replace the energycell with a Capacitor bank.
Or you can mix and match by letting the computer sit directly adjacent to the monitor, the capacitor or both.

On multi monitor support: that is a bit tricky. You would have to change the code to detect all the connected Monitors and write them into a table. Then every time you want to write something on the monitors you would have to loop it for each member of the table.

As the code is atm it just finds the first member on the network with Monitor in its name and uses that.

EDIT: OH! In 1.7 the capacitor bank might have changed networking name! Pay attention to what is put up in chat when you attach the modem and hit it to enable it(it turns red). You need to replace the "tile_enderio_blockcapacitorbank_name" in the code with that name (both places)(minus the number at the end).

HUGE SERVER CRASH - i just clicked on the modem (never used one before) which was on the capaciter bank. Did not know before that i have to activate it...

its repeatable
