Hi,

i tried to program a simply UI Design with Heat informations of a Fluid Reactor and a simple Toggle on/off function.
but i had some problems with the refresh of the Heat display when i want the userinput. I Tried already with a thread and a new function the get the heat. but the mainprogram will still hold while it awaits the input.

and when it will easier to program i normally dont want an "Input" field normaly i dont want to display the userinput and simply toggle a redstone state from 15 to 0 and backwards by simply pressing the button (number on keyboard) but i dont know to do that

if anyone of you had an idea to fix that or improve that i am glad to hear from it!

my code i wrote on my own attempt.. connections to the Reactor made via an Adapter and a Redstone Port

-- Include

local term = require("term")
local component = require("component")
local sides = require("sides")
local event = require("event")
local thread = require("thread")

-- Variable
local r1 = 0
local build = "0910190124"
local vers = "0.0.2"
local rsget = component.redstone.getOutput(sides.west)

-- Boot-UP
term.clear()
print("Reactor Control")
print("Build: "..build.." Version:"..vers)
print("made by Blade")

-- function Reactor status
local function status1()
 if rsget == 15 then
  local r1 = 1
  return "Online!"
 else
  local r1 = 0
  return "Offline!"
 end
end

-- Script
print("Reaktor Status beim boot:")
term.setCursor(27,4)
print(status1())
os.sleep(5)

-- UI Design
term.setCursor(1,1)
term.clear()
print("|================================================|")
print("|                                                |")
print("| Status der Reaktoren:                          |")
print("| Reactor-1:                                     |")
print("| Reactor-2:                                     |")
print("| Reactor-3:                                     |")
print("| Reactor-4:                                     |")
print("| Reactor-5:                                     |")
print("| Reactor-6:                                     |")
print("|                                                |")
print("|------------------------------------------------|")
print("| [1-6] Toggle Reactor  |  [9] Exit Program      |")
print("|------------------------------------------------|")
print("| Input:                                         |")
print("|================================================|")

term.setCursor(14,4)
print(status1())
os.sleep(5)

local function heatget()
 while true do
  heat = component.reactor_redstone_port.getHeat()
  maxheat = component.reactor_redstone_port.getMaxHeat()
  term.setCursor(25,4)
  print("Heat: "..heat.." / "..maxheat)
 end
end

-- user input inclusive heat refresh
 thread.create(heatget())
  while true do
   event.pull()
   local userInput = io.read()
  end

thanks for the pataince and help

ps. i know my english is garbage but i try my best ;P
