Battery Powered Car

This is my car i have made it and im hoping one of you coding geniuses can crack it down into less chips here it is:

Hello, fulfilled your request to the best of my abilities. I have it down to 9 chips, 1 expression and 8 timers. There are 14 inputs and 13 outputs. To help I have labeled your image with the inputs and outputs. If you have any problems just pm me.

I will let him know you have posted this, btw wouldnt another 1 or 2 inputs be useful for changing the warning level and the total battery life? so the values of 300 and 30?

**Jon Read** · 08-13-2007

Yeah, I probably should have done that, but I was trying to keep the inputs and outputs to a minimum.

**f1atten3d** · 08-13-2007

i did give it ago but i ended up with 8 timers and 2 expressions, it was easier on the inputs/outputs but wire screwed up since and to add to that i didnt finish them either

I don't mean to rain on anyones parade at all but i have something that may help you out even just a little bit.

-Battery (life support) Powered Buggys

I built these a while ago and they use Life Support and the Wired Support Tools.

It uses only 1 E-Gate to actually control the Resource Taker, and you can work up a battery to use instead and the E-Gate will give you an On function (LST) and a Rate Function (LSR) for your battery.

Download the E-Gate Code and take a look, it may help you to reduce the chip clutter.

Use one E-Gate for a battery, use another one for flow control (determine battery drain) and one E-Gate for Controlling the vehicle

. (could do it all in one chip if you really wanted to!)

The E-Gate is a freaking awesome chip to use to consolidate "systems", and to create a sort of "Modularization" so you can convert your system into a few module E-Gate chips. I created an Energy system that does this exact same thing.

Hope this helps!
