Hello Everyone

Im trying to setup a farm with diffrent Crops, which get in induvidual barrels.
Now I want to use a comparator, a computer and Bundled cable to check the barrels content and disable the farming accordingly.
However Comperator use signal strength based on the content, but with bundled cable I can only check if there is a redstone signal or not.

So is there any way to actually get redstone signal Strength via bundled cable or alternativly another way to check barrel content ammount?

Not a direct solution to your problem, but if the reason why you want to turn off your farm is to avoid overflow of crop items, you could put the void upgrade in the barrel.

You can use a Programmable Rednet Controller to convert signal strengths over/under a certain value into ON/OFF signals.

Doesn't JABBA have a Redstone upgrade? Wouldn't that be just as easy to apply signal when full?

I agree that the PRC is a fantastic tool if you can wrap your head around what you're looking for.
