May I have an invite to the group? Here is my repo https://github.com/nmarshall23/oc-programs my programs are really for oppm. Well, I do need to test that they install cleanly.

I have written a program to optimize the power to a Rotarycraft Extractor. 

The part that I think is of use to anyone really would be the gem I found. Take a look at this Lua State Machine Library.

In my repo I have updated the library for Lua 5.2. I don't know about you guys but this state machine library solves most of the conceptual problems I have had with turning redstone circuits into OC programs. 

Drones are effectively mobile microcontrollers. That means it's much harder to debug them. How familiar are you with the Robot API?

Here is my advice make a robot. be sure to add a screen and keyboard to it. Treat it as a mobile computer. Get used to the robot api. 

From the title of your post I have a feeling you want to build a drone with an external local positioning system like the one direwolf20 made. ( I refuse to call them GPS because there is no globe in Minecraft. ) Good news, building a positioning system with open computers is far more simpler and has more functionality. I would use 4 wireless access points networked to a computer, that is responsible for calculating the requestors position and relaying that back. 

If I had time, I would use the code from AE2 to make colored cables. I believe that both are open source. 

I think that Colored cables would work fine. They would behave just like the currents ones do. However, you would have 16 colors to use.. so just use one color for networking. 

Thanks, I figured it out. The adapter with the tank controller has to be next to a valve.

I found a bug, my adapter next to my tank was also next to the ender IO conduit. I could not see the tank controller, only the ender IO conduit. Soon as I removed the conduit I could see the tank controller.

I can't figure out how to read how full my Railcaft tanks are. I tried using the adapter, but I didn't see an new component.  

Description:

 I would like to tool that would help prepare code for use on a Microcontroller. Something like a Lua code minifier, and to rewrite my api calls to components, and any other library constants. Like the sides and redstone color api.
