Robot and Redstone

[meigrafd 0]

Hello everyone.

 

First: Sorry for my bad english 

 

 

I want to port my 'Nuclear Reactor Control' (Work in Progress) and Auto Crafting Turtle (finished) program's from ComputerCraft to the awesome OpenComputers, but wondering if its possible that Robots get Redstone-Signals from 'Thermal Sensor' ?

 

To the background:

 

Currently my Setup requires a 'Control Computer' which checks over the mod OpenCCsensors the Inventory of the Reactor, to monitor the Coolant/Uran cells or even if anyone is missing... Then it tells a Turtle to place a Cell to a special slot etc. Thats only a rough description...

 

Some days ago i tested OpenComputers and saw it also have such Sensor: Inventory Controller Upgrade.

 

My Idea now was to replace the 'Control Computer' and the Turtle with only one Robot which uses this Upgrade...

 

But my Problem is now that i also need to get the Redstone states of 2 Thermal-Sensors: One tells it to turn off the Reactor (when it reaches 1000 heat) and another Thermal-Sensor tells it to drop the Uran Cells (when it still heat up and reaches 1500)

 

My current 'Nuclear Reactor'-Setup:

My Question:

 

Is it for the Robot somehow possible to get the Redstone signal of 2 external devices? Maybe with the 'Redstone I/O'-Block ?

 

Thanks!

Im currently not sure which Layout i should use:

 

1.: https://goo.gl/QQuazr

2.: https://goo.gl/nWW8wl

3.: https://goo.gl/dVs2nL

 

Fastest sides are: front, up, down

One of these i must use for Coolant. Maybe also as Trash/Drop to prevent explosion.

 

But solong i use a Cable i loose one Side.. Now i saw in the API something about Get/Set the wireless redstone input.

 

Whats that? 

How to use that?

The Robot cant interact with "external devices" so your best bet with Opencomputers would be have one or two computers that read the Redstone signal then send it over a wireless network card then received by the Robot.

But for what can the robot then have/use the redstone card? 

//EDIT: http://ocdoc.cil.li/item:redstone_card?s[]=redstone

 

 

Allows reading and emitting redstone signals around the computer or robot. This uses the same API as the Redstone I/O block.

I've tested it and it works as expected!

The wireless redstone IO is usable when you have WR-CBE (maybe some other mod works too?) installed. The Tier 2 redstone card then becomes able to use WR-CBE's channels to transmit a redstone signal.

 

You'd just need to put an emitter/receiver near your sensors, tune them to the right channel, and regularly switch between their channels to check input/set output.
