Can anyone give me the luacontroller code to output a mesecon signal from ports A and B, switching on/off about 2 times per second? So a 1/2 a second clock

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

interrupt(0.5, "test")
if event.iid == "test" then
  port.a, port.b = not port.a, not port.b
end

Hi
I am trying to get the double piston to work as per the lab page but with only two outputs. I got it working with two switches and no controller but can't replicate the sequence of switching with LUA. Please can someone help me fix it?

Switch sequence (without controller) was as follows:
extend pistons = SW1 on, SW2 on
retract pistons = SW 2 off, then SW1 off then SW 2 on, then SW2 off

the LUA I have now is as follows (port.c is control):

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

if event.iid == "pull1" then
  port.a = false
  interrupt(0.2, "push2")
elseif event.iid == "push2" then
  port.b = true
  interrupt(0.2, "pull2")
elseif event.iid == "pull2" then
  port.b = false
else
if pin.c then --extend
    port.a = true
    port.b = true
  else --retract
    port.b = false
    interrupt(0.2, "pull1")
  end
end

The extend part of the sequence works but retract keeps repeating the "push2" and "pull2" indefinately

Since I don't know where else to look, can someone please tell me how to make doors open with mesecon? I tried the redstone way but it didnt work.

***bump***

Can I submit my own designs?

Hi benrob0329,

I don't really have the time to update this much any more, but I'd be happy to accept submissions! Simply post it in this thread or email me with the details, and I'll add it to the site.

Would this be worth putting up on the website?







It's a password protected door, and the door part could be used with or without a Luacontroller.

That's a nice project! If you send me the write-up, I'll add it as a new post.

Is this Project dead?
If not, I would love to see more tutorials to try to build things. :)
(I am still learning on how to use mesecons at all oO)
