ComputerPowerChecker

[7Roses 1]

While starting with Opencomputers scripting (and learning some lua),

I found out that while not much, there computers still need some power.

So here came my idea to build a powercheck script (deamon) to show my power level of the computer (or network) and be ready to save my files before the computer shuts down mid editing a script.

this version is only a visual aid for knowing your energy leven, executing some functions if the power is to low to continue aren't implemented.

 

Requirements:

not much, the openOS should be enough, and a valid computer with screen.

 

script & installation:

after downloading this script:

copy or move it to /etc/rc.d/<your chosen filename>

then

rc <yourchosenfilename without .lua> enable

once you reboot your system you should have an indicator of the power level in the right bottom corner of the screen.

hope this is usefull for someone

So I like the script but is there an easy way to increase the size of the output text?

currently it just takes the text size of your screen. so if you change your resolution of the chars the text will scale with it.

I may try to see if there is an easy way to change the size of the powerchecker separate from other parts of the screen, but for the moment it just takes the gpu and asks to write text.

So if you want to get it bigger and don't care that all text on the screen will be bigger, just change the screen's resolution and the text will be bigger.

You can only change the text size by changing the resolution which affects the entire screen but you could take a look at this
