is there hope for a wireless mesecon?

thankyou

Excellent Post!!

I've been messing around with the luacontroller, and my code likes to overheat the controller. I can't figure out why, because you're suppose to be able to do 20 calculations per second? Basic what this code does is: Every 5 seconds there is a chance that pistons will be turned off. It then initiates a randomized counter that keeps the piston off for a certain period of time. The Piston then is turned on and the process begins again. Here is the code.

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(5)
if (mem.var == nil) then
mem.var = 0
end
if (pin.d == true) then
if (port.a == true and math.random() < 0.02) then
port.a = false
mem.var = math.random(10, 25)
end
if (port.a == false) then
mem.var = mem.var - 1
port.c = not port.c
end
if (mem.var < 1) then
port.a = true
end
end


the set up: pin.d is connected to a power plant, (and a blinky plant so that it will restart when the server is restarted.) port.a is hook to a series of pistons. Port.c is connected to a light that blinks to let me know that the device is counting down (mostly as a diagnostic tool, but also because the controller is a distance away from the pistons)

[Temperest]

The issue is probably the blinky plant. When you log on, ABMs have a bug where they execute tons of times very rapidly. This is also the reason why you see flowers grow a lot when you first log on.

Luckily, luacontrollers in recent versions of Mesecons don't lose their code when they overheat. Instead, they just become burned out.

This is a minetest issue, and unfortunately not one that has a simple workaround.

I cant get it to work my game keeps saying mod failed to load and run'

[BadWolf]

Thanks, I removed the blinky plant, I actually modified the code so it doesn't depend on the presence of a plant at all.

[Temperest]

We need the whole error. Otherwise, that means absolutely nothing.

If using Windows, consider MODSTER to help install the mod for you: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=6497

Is there a way to make a dispenser?? maybe nice for adventure maps and the like.

[Temperest]

Try the Pipeworks mod - it has excellent Mesecons integration. Put a Pipeworks filter/injector beside a chest, and a mesecons signal will dispense an item. Use the MESE filter/injector to dispense a whole stack.

About multi-channel wireless mesecons, look at this: https://github.com/Jeija/minetest-mod-mesecons/pull/110

I'm trying to write a script where when pin a toggles on(does nothing when it goes off) it toggles pin d on/off, and when pin b toggles on it turns pin d on. and when pin c toggles on it turns pin d off. can anyone help?

[Temperest]

Please read the luacontroller tutorial to learn how to use them.

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.type == "on" then
  if event.pin == "A" then
    port.d = not pin.d
  elseif event.pin == "B" then
    port.d = true
  elseif event.pin == "C" then
    port.d = false
  end
end

doesn't seem to be working does lua require a certain number of spaces on each line because I just did 1 and 2 for the lines that looked indented
but it does look along the lines of what i want
I'm playing on a server could that have anything to do with it?

[wcwyes]

I'm trying to make a multi switch castle puzzle here's the code I'm using(thanks Temperest)

and here's the layout of each single switch where the left and right switches would be coming from other switches , (I wouldn't want to leave you in the dark)

any help trying to figure out why it might not be working is welcome

only the middle switch will stay in it's location the other two switches represent signal coming from other switches in the castle all of the switches will be set up in this fashion.

[wcwyes]

Seems to be working today thanks guys for your help, I'll post pics when the castle's done

[wcwyes]

Apparently my friend Badwolf changed the code to
if event.type == "on" then
if pin.d then
port.b = not pin.b
if pin.a then
port.b = true
end
if pin.c then
port.b = false
end
end

if event.type == "on" then
if pin.d then
port.b = not pin.b
if pin.a then
port.b = true
end
if pin.c then
port.b = false
end
end

Use the "code" tags for posting code instead of just using plain text. ;-)

[wcwyes]

didn't see the code tag... sorry

can i have a list of the very old versions because i want to play around with this a little and see if i can understand the lua code and i might be able to add a few features

[sfan5]

Heres a DL link for the first version that was on github(2 years ago):

thanks

can i have a slightly newer one that i can actualy break the nodes on (sorry)

[sfan5]

Try an older Minetest version

[PenguinDad]

I found a bug in the Microcontroller.
Here is the content of the debug.txt

[VanessaE]

I get the exact same error on my servers as PenguinDad gets, when I try to use a complex bit of code in a µC, but it only starts after the first event happens that should trigger the µC. When I first enter the code, it accepts it.

Here's the code I tried:

if(A) after(2, "off(A)on(B)"); if(B) after(2, "off(B)on(C)"); if(C) after(2, "off(C)on(A)");

It isn't enough to cause a crash of the server or client, it just breaks the µC - the formspec no longer shows the code when you right click, so you have dig the µC up and re-place it.

My copy of mesecons is up-to-date.

fixed https://github.com/Jeija/minetest-mod-mesecons/commit/75ca00f51e8563783366195bb28cc37adafe5d3d

[dungeonmaster]

make for 0.3.1!

[VanessaE]

0.3.1 cannot run any mods (it does not have a modding system at all), and is considered obsolete. Get the latest code from the master branch of the Minetest repository on github (this is post-0.4.7), or wait for 0.4.8-stable to come out (soon).

[DeepGaze]

can you make:
1)a block that looks like stone/dirt/glass but carries current
2)it compatible with the circular saw
3)water convey current but doesn't shock you
4)tesla coil that can harm you if in a 3 block radius

[VanessaE]

I don't know about the others, maybe they could be put into some kind of Mesecons addon, but for number 4, Mesecons signals are TTL logic, nowhere near what could drive a Tesla coil. A properly-built Tesla coil (according to the inventor I mean) is not supposed to be dangerous (in the original design, you can allegedly be hit repeatedly in the chest with the discharges and they would do nothing).
