trapcodien 0 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Hi all. First, I want to thanks the creator of this mod and all his contributors, because this mod is just amazing. As a developper, I was impressed by your work, OpenComputers is very realistic, it's a real computer simulation. I love when you doing some IOs and you can hear the disk noise, tons of little features like this <3 I'm planning for learning scala, I think I will read your code soon to study minecraft modding ;-) Anyway, this is not the goal of this thread. It would be nice to add more micro-controllers features like lcd screens, buzzers, RF emitters/receivers Micro-Components This features introduce a new concept : The micro-components. There are designed to be used with micro-controllers. The difference with normal components is the size, it's not a block, but more like a keyboard. In fact, keyboards can be considered like a micro-component and be compatible with micro-controllers. LCD screens A lcd 32*32 (or smaller) screen ? - This LCD screen would be used by micro-controllers, very useful to debug them. - The LCD screen would be flat, like keyboards. - [T1]: Black and white screen - [T2]: Can configure background and foreground colors using dyes (in a crafting table) - [T3]: Can use all colors Buzzers It's just the normal buzzer you can found in a computer case, but in an external component. - The buzzer would be used by micro-controllers. (e.g.: debug, alerts, alarms) - The buzzer would be flat too RF emitters / RF receivers Used for communication between micro-controllers - Short range - Based on frequences - Flat with an antenna ;-) Micro-components are flat Like I said, all micro-components are rendered flat like OpenComputers keyboard, It's the way to differentiate normal components from micro components. Combining 2 micro-controllers will result to have something comparable to a slab (in term of size), you cannot combine more than 2 micro-components in the same block.

ben_mkiv 9 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I think its better to get into Java and make this stuff as a addon. Also some stuff is already covered by addon mods, like Computronics (https://wiki.vexatos.com/wiki:computronics) which adds soundcards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trapcodien 0 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 The goal here is to make components for microcontrollers. EDIT: but yes, you right, this can be done in computronics or in another mod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bioscreeper 0 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Microcontrollers are meant to be stripped down. Only for that rail switch in the yard. Plus, a modem can be used to transmit debug signals, and adding local component = require("component") can let you run EEprom code on OpenOS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
