[REQ] A Automated Systems controller [Read post =.=]

[Wulfie]

Ok, well lately I've been interested in making "Production plants" in Gmod with Life Support 2, such as a Nuclear Powerplant, a Gas production facility, and Energy stations, and what I've been needing for a while is some sort of automated computer system in wiremod (which can be done), that would turn on a pump automatically when it is needed, (such as if I am low on water, It would turn on an extra water pump) and I can't figure out what to do to make such a thing. All I have been able to do is to put a lot of panels with info on my systems and put alot of buttons to press for each thing. I don't know if this would go in the CPU section, or here as I am new to this forum, so moderators feel free to move this. Can someone help me make a thing such as I described above?

scenario:
auto replenishing air tank

find the air amount output of the tank

wire it to (a) of less than chip

make constant value chip with the value you want the compressor to turn on at (ie , 2000)

wire this to (b) of less than chip

then wire the less than chip to your compressor.

the whole point of this is to turn on the compressor when less than a certain level

i hope this is what you were looking for !

I'll try that, but can I also do what you said in reverse to turn things off?

EDIT: I just tried it and it WORKS!! Thank you for your help!

how bout a system that starts at value x and then stops a value y

the air stops drops to 3000 the air compressors start and keep going to 6000 and then stop.

how would you do that?

PS something that can be used on any system like that. not just tied air.

Haven't tested it, but I think this should deliver that.

N@Generatorcontrol
I@Currentvalue Minvalue Stopvalue
O@On
Currentvalue<=Minvalue->On=1;
Currentvalue>=Stopvalue&On->On=0;

To make it with just gates, you could use a Toggle(Edge triggered), with input values 0 and 1, and wire the Clk to an Or(Any) gate. The Or(Any) gate you then wire to a Less Than/Less Than or Equal gate comparing the current amount of air to the minimum value. In addition, you would wire the Or gate to a Greater Than/Greater Than or Equal gate comparing the current value to the value it should stop at.

is that CPU code?
im new as you probably guessed?

[Magos Mechanicus]

Oh right. That's Expression (1) code. If you want to save it for the expression gate you'll have to make a .txt (name it something you remember) with that code and save it in your Steam/steamapps/<your Steam account name here>/garrysmod/garrysmod/data/ExpressionGate folder. Then you use the Expression gate tool ingame to spawn the gate with that code. Or you could try making it with just the standard gates. Sorry if my explanation was a bit hard to understand there.

well i had a go at the gates and got it working. i'll have a go at the expression one tomorrow, its late and i need sleep

thanks for you help

One way would be to use an SR-latch. S goes to a Less Than gate, R goes to a Greater Than gate. I'm I'm sure you can figure out the rest.

start:
jmp Real_start
alloc minval
alloc stopval

Real_start:
in eax,0 //Currentvalue
cmp eax,#minval
cle On_off

cmp eax,#stopval
cge On_on
jmp Real_start

On_off:
out 0,0 //Port 0 out is the on
ret

On_on:
out 0,1
ret

No my friends, THIS is cpu code and my 200th post!
