ComputerErika 0 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Ok!!! Hello! So... I was going along. Coding more for the OpenComputer RFTools Dialing Program when I found out about DRONES! I immediately went and checked them out, and found out there "Basically the microcontrollers of robots." Witch I was sorta sad that you cant have a hard drive on them and so forth, Plus you only have a limited space in the bios that the drone runs on. Anyway, I wanted to find a way to run all the stuff remotely so the drone wouldn't have to do any of the processing. Like a separate computer would tell the drone what to do over a wireless network, but because I wanted it to work at whatever distance I then just used linked cards. This is the bios I use to run the drone: local d = component.proxy(component.list("drone")()) local t = component.proxy(component.list("tunnel")()) while true do local evt,_,sender,_,_,name,cmd,a,b,c = computer.pullSignal() if evt == "modem_message" and name == d.name() then if cmd == "gst" then t.send(d.name(),"gst",d.getStatusText()) end if cmd == "sst" then t.send(d.name(),"sst",d.setStatusText(a)) end if cmd == "mov" then d.move(a,b,c) end if cmd == "gos" then t.send(d.name(),"gos",d.getOffset()) end if cmd == "gve" then t.send(d.name(),"gv",d.getVelocity()) end if cmd == "gmv" then t.send(d.name(),"gmv",d.getMaxVelocity()) end if cmd == "gac" then t.send(d.name(),"ga",d.getAcceleration()) end if cmd == "sac" then d.setAcceleration(a) end if cmd == "glc" then t.send(d.name(),"glc",d.getLightColor()) end if cmd == "slc" then d.setLightColor(a) end if cmd == "dct" then local b, s = d.detect(a) t.send(d.name(),"dct",b,s) end if cmd == "cmp" then t.send(d.name(),"c",d.compare(a)) end end end LINK TO PASTEBIN: https://pastebin.com/cfgsdmQJ So you would run and create the programs on a separate computer or tablet. This made it much easier for me to code it plus I get to use all my APIs! Here is the start of a drone control program: local t = require("component").tunnel --or modem if thats what you use local event = require("event") function doDrone(dronename,dronecommand,arg1,arg2,arg3) t.send(dronename,dronecommand,arg1,arg2,arg3) _, _, _, _, _, name, command, respond1, respond2 = event.pull("modem_message") return {name, command, respond1, respond2} end doDrone("DAVE","mov",0,3,0) --this would make it move up there blocks! All the commands, like "mov", and what arguments they need, and how they respond are in the drone control bios above! (One above the one above, so like two above) I plan on adding support for all the drop components like navigation and such, Or you could do that yourself! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
