Some things can act as both receptors and effectors, which is useful for doing things like modifying signals. Effectors do things based on those signals. Wires conduct signals around, while receptors do the actual creating of those signals. We'll look at each one in detail below, but for now we'll go through a summary. There are three basic types of things in the Mesecons mod: wires, receptors, and effectors. Mesecons resembles real life circuitry in that you have wires that carry information around and various things that affect or are affected by them, but the basic similarities end there.
MINETEST MESECONS BLINKING LIGHT MOD
Mesecons is a digital circuitry mod for Minetest that allows players to create circuits that can do nearly anything. Let's look at exactly what Mesecons can do, and how you can use it. That won't do! This is a usage guide for new Mesecon users, including those without Redstone experience. So far we've already looked at a couple of machines, but not at Mesecons itself. If anyone wants to add these recipes right now, replace your minetest-mod-digilines folder with git clone git:///lordcirth/minetest-mod-digilines.git. Jeija, I have created recipes for digiline and digiline_lcd, and have submitted a pull request on the digiline Github. I will probably submit to the github when I'm done. I agree, I have been experimenting with mesecons in a Survival Mode world, and I'm working on creating & balancing digilines recipes. People like me find a lot of joy making things like this in survival mode because it has a feeling of accomplishment and it definately gives you an additional thing to add to your survival house. There is always a need for crafting recipes. You likely only need these things to make giant structures (for most use cases at least) and you wouldn't build them in survival mode anway IMO.

MINETEST MESECONS BLINKING LIGHT CODE
At the moment a Real Time Clock (RTC) that gives you the current timeofday, a light sensor and an LCD display are included.įor the display, just send your text on the channel you selected when right-clicking it, in order to retrieve time or light data, send a "GET" to RTC or light sensor on the selected channel.įor developers: See the RTC, Light Sensor and LCD code to develop your own things using the digilines features.ĭependencies: none, but currently not usable without luacontrollers (=mesecons) no crafting recipes, so creative is also recommended Use case 2: Hook up external Hardware to a luacontroller. See the luacontroller documentation for more information. For this use case, I can recommand The Tic-Tac-Toe Machine on the Mesecons Lab by Uberi which demonstrates this feature impressively.ĭata is always consists of a channel and a message to be sent. Use case 1: Link luacontrollers together Use them as port expanders or even create a dynamic network. Presenting: The minetest counterpart for real-life digital bus systems like i2c, SPI, RS232, USB, OneWire. In fact it's not only and addition to mesecons, but can also be used by other mods, use your creativity! Now I decided to release it aside from mesecons to spread it. The digilines mod existed for some time already, even without getting noticed by many people.
