OpenComputers Lua program to monitor a Draconic Energy Core. Comes with a text and a graphic version.
- Text and Graphic version:
- Current energy stored / Max energy capacity.
- Percent indicator of stored energy.
- Net energy flow of the core (positive or negative).
- Supports for big amounts (format numbers up to Peta RF for easy reading).
- Threshold configuration for a redstone signal output.
- Signal output indicator.
- Graphic version:
- Current energy stored progress bar indicator.
- Energy flow histogram: Visually show energy flow values for a histogram. The amount of values stored is adjusted according to screen resolution.
- Automatic resize of histogram to show proportional values of positive and negative flow.
- Low / High Peaks indicators
- Place an Adapter Block in contact with one of your Energy Pylons
- Connect the Adapter Block through cables to the computer
- Only tested with tier 3 computers and screens (3 wide x 2 high)
- A redstone card (tier 2) is required to emit a redstone signal when the threshold is reached (can be disabled in the config). This will work with redstone bundled cables/conduits only (has not been tested with vanilla redstone). The signal is emitted from the bottom of the computer by default.
oppm install energy-monitor
You will need to edit either /usr/bin/energy-monitor-text or /usr/bin/energy-monitor-graphic and adjust this settings
-- redstoneSide: Side to emit a redstone signal when the threshold is reached
-- nil to disable this feature (i.e.: local side = nil )
local side = sides.bottom
-- threshold: Minimum threshold required to emit a redstone signal
-- Valid values: 1 to 100
local threshold = 75
-- step: Run interval in seconds.
local step = 1
-- debug: Print aditional debug info (usually at start).
local debug = true
-- name: Name of your Energy Core
local name = "Energy Core"
energy-monitor
- 1 : Address for energy core not found, check your network cables and check that the EnergyPylon is connected to the computer through Adapter/Cables
