Wire Directional Radios!

[-=Fox=-]

Ok, so this is now in the Wired Extras SVN "Officially"?

I think you should create a jammer device... Just an omni-directional radio that overrides any signal with an input of whatever you want the jamming signal to be, if a reciever goes into the field. Think about it! You could wire a Random number Generator to it, completely scrambling any signals nearby!

If possible, I'd also make a checkbox for "Do not affect owner," or something... and it should require a LOT of energy, and a bit of coolant/nitrogen as well. You know, to prevent spam a bit.

I dunno, it was just an idea I had, I think it'd be cool.

I don't know if Jamming has been implemented yet, though in theory you should be able to hook a transmitter outputting random values and then just get within range of the receivers. If the jammers output is strong enough it should interfere or cause the receivers to pick up and use that signal instead. You'd need to experiment ^_^

I'm not sure of the current behavior of conflicting signals is to mix or simply override, or if the signal has to be in the same frequency or just close to it... we'll have to wait for Philxyz to get back to us on that one.

You can jam signals. The receiver listens to the strongest signal on a given frequency and if another signal comes in stronger, it counts the new signal as the one to receive with the old signal (the weaker of the two) is treated as interference.

But how would the transmitter find the correct frequency to jam? -tilts head- I'm honestly just wondering, so I know how to create a jammer..

Also, would it be possible for the transmitter to have an output (1-0) that tells whether or not the signal is being recieved? Or is that too difficult to do?

I've made a "data-valid checker" once, which could tell you if the value was valid or not.
You know, if the signal is weak it outputs a random value, and what my device did, was to have two square pulses and compare those.

I cant use this properly It wont connect up to the resource nodes in RD3 and I get random values with the transmit power at 99

[philxyz]

I have tested it with RD3 and it had no problems. Are you getting any lua errors in the console when linking?

[woo482]

how do I stop this out putting random values ? I transmitted 199 and I got loads of random numbers none of them wear 199

Make sure you got a receiver and that its on the right frequency, if you got RD, make sure its got Power. If that doesn't work, check your transmitter and that you wired it up right.

SVN updated with 1.0.0b-R6

Ok, I figured it out :lol:
