[Power monitor] Not outputting Redstone signal. #308

Closed tbbw closed 10 years ago

tbbw commented 10 years ago

Hello!

Powermonitor not outputting redstone signal when Engine Controle is turned on. Tryed with vanilla redstone, Rednet (MFR), Redstone Conduit (EnderIO) and Project-Red's bundled cable.

The reson why i tryed stuff like Rednet is if you hover with your mouse over the middle of the gui of the Power Monitor you can change color of... umm something :)

It's right in the middle of the word "Capacitor Bank" at the first screen and where the word "Signal" is written on the Engine Control screen.

I just tested this and it seems to work as expected with some basic tests. Did you have the check box selected at the top? When it is active there will be a tick in the box and the text will change to blue.

re: 'color' issue. Doh! at one stage of development you could set the color of the output signal. Looks like I removed the rendering of the button, but not its tool tip are action handler. This is just a visual glitch though.

What did you use to get the redstone signal out from it with? When i do tests i cant get a redstone signal to light a regular redstone lamp up as a test.

Edit: yes i did check the box :)

Edit2: tryed with just 1 capasitor bank both full and empty. Tryed with 1 capasitor bank and the stirling generator. Tryed with a combustion engine and the power monitor and then a capasitor bank in serie. I seem to be able to eather get it to send a redstone signal permanently now or never to send a redstone signal even doh i eather filled it to 100% or drained it 0% it does not change redstone signal as it should :/

Ok i found the issue... for the power monitor to work as intended it only outputs/inputs on one side at the time. I cant connect it between the generator and what ever other block i want to store or power. enderio2

The Power Monitor is not a 'pass through' block, you only attach it on one side to the rest of your power grid for it to do its job.

Mjeah now when i look at it... it kinda seems that way. Drew the conclusion that it was a pass through block since it was "a power monitor" and not a "capasitor bank monitor". I know it's nitpicking but it just seemed so obvius with the block name and how it looked. My bad... thanks for taking your time doh.
