Stargate Expression Dialer

[Brian4120]

Ok, what I am trying to do is make a replica of a Interstellar Stargate bridge (In the show, a chain of Stargates connected to bridge the gap between galaxies. but since it would be silly to just have one gate "store" the player, I just place two infront of eachother and have the inertia of the player move him though to the other Stargate)
Basically, I will have all the wired keyboard values in constant values, inputted into the expression gate. Then, using the interval, cycle though the six values in the constant and then end at the 7th with a dial command (toggle of 1) Hopefully, when the Stargate disengages, all values will reset and allow for another trip.

In case you don't have any idea what I'm talking about.
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-spacere;overflow:auto'>
>=======>->=======>->======> Flow of travel
*0-----[0*0]-----[0*0]-----0 <endpoint
^ Startpoint ^ * = Dial controller
</div>
And the [0*0] Stands for two Stargates facing each other at a close distance, making the "bridge"

Anyways, i attempted to write the code myself... with no luck whatsoever.

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-spacere;overflow:auto'>N@Gatebrige_controller
I@Gate_active Input1 Input2 Input3 Input4 Input5 Input6
O@Dial_output Dial
Time = 0, If Gate_active & Time <= 200 -> interval(100);
clk() -> Time += 1;
If Time == 1 -> Input1 = Dial_output;
If Time == 2 -> Input2 = Dial_output;
If Time == 3 -> Input3 = Dial_output;
If Time == 4 -> Input4 = Dial_output;
If Time == 5 -> Input5 = Dial_output;
If Time == 6 -> Input6 = Dial_output;
If Time >= 7 -> Dial = 1;
If Gate_active == 0 -> Dial = 0;
</div>

If I could get the Gate_active to turn this on without a toggled button, that would be even better... Also, I found out that as long as I keep outputting the Dial Value, the gate will remain on, but it will automatically close after a while/someone goes though. So I would want a way for it to turn off the dial value once the other Stargate is closed.
Oh, and I will be using one gate per way, just to keep the complexity down.

Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks! Sorry if my post makes absolutely no sense... its late.

I know it's been over a month since you posted but have you made any progress with this? After I read this thread I thought I'd have a go myself and got it working quite well surprisingly quickly. I only created the one bridge and tested it on gm_solarsystem_v2 between Earth and the Moon

I shouldn't be so impressed with it but I think it's awesome! Some pics for those who care:

</div>

I used three expression gates to handle the dialling. One had the following expression:
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-spacere;overflow:auto'>N@Stargate Bridge Controller
I@Inbound1 Inbound2
O@Addr Dial1 Dial2
# Two addresses supported by this bridge
Addr1 = send(69, 65, 82, 84, 72, 49) # EARTH1
Addr2 = send(69, 65, 82, 84, 72, 77) # EARTHM

# Output appropriate address and dial command
Addr = (Inbound1 ? Addr2 : (Inbound2 ? Addr1 : 0))
Dial1 = Inbound2
Dial2 = Inbound1
</div>

And the other two had this one:
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-spacere;overflow:auto'>N@Stargate Dialler
I@Address Dial
O@GateDial KeyIn
# Wait for the dial instruction
Dial == 0 ->
GateDial = 0
KeyIn = 0
Counter = 0
end;

# Schedule the first clock pulse
~Dial & Dial ->
schedule(100);

# Dial sequence
clk() ->
Counter += 1
Counter < 7 ->
KeyIn = recv(Address, Counter)
schedule(100);
Counter >= 7 ->
KeyIn = 0
GateDial = 1;
;
</div>

Hope this helps

Yeah.. would be nice to know how to wire that.

can anyone explain how it is exactly that you can define what gate address to dial, with Wire? it'd be useful to have radio controlled gates.

Ok, i just found this out a few hour ago. To dial a gate, you need to have a timer 6 ascii values (the gate address) and a button or 2.

Timer --> ascii[1] --> Stargate
clk() --> ascii[2] --> Stargate
etc.
clk() --> fastdail = 1 --> Stargate

Apparently the wire keyboard is fixed ?? so you can wire that up to the stargate (the wire keyboard still dosn't work on my pc) Under the wirekeyboard input.
Then attach a button to either the fast of slow dial.
type in the address you want to go THEN press the TOGGLE dial.

have a look at the basic code im using to dial my gates.

[sorry if im slightly off topic, but i dont know how to wire up the above gates, or radio... but im working on it )
