Reactor Controller

For ComputerCraft (& Advanced Peripherals) & Mekanism, featuring web server and client capability maybe later.

There is however, a pastebin-like Node.js server implementation which was immensely helpful during the development process.

Screenshot of Main Computer Interacting with the monitor (right-clicking) is possible. You can scroll through and switch to tabs. Reactor tabs will have the options seen above, for changing the state and burn rate. When trying to set the burn rate, the computer will open a prompt for you to input the new burn rate value (which means you need to open the computer's GUI for this).

Computer Setup

Main computer has a 3x3 advanced monitor connected to it, along with an ender modem.

Peripheral data servers also have an ender modem, but are connected to an induction matrix / fission reactor / turbine using a peripheral proxy from Advanced Peripherals.


Installation

Pastebin code for updater.lua, which is used to download/update all files under the /src/lua directory, is below:

pastebin get h7Y1L2NP updater.lua

Note: Place the updater.lua file in the folder;

  • /server, if installing for a "peripheral data server"
  • /reactor, if installing for the main computer (the one with GUI output)

For a peripheral data server, you must first run configureserver.lua, provided you've already run updater.lua and acquired all the files.

For the main computer, you may want to create a startup.lua file in the root directory containing the code shell.run("/reactor/main.lua"). Alternatively, run configuremain.lua to set a static number of connected structures and create a startup.lua file. (Setting a static number of connected structures helps with startup times)


TODO?

  • Protected website for reactor controls and dashboard
  • Auto-controls for reactor? (safety?)
  • Improve readme and documentation
    • Add a section briefly outlining the architecture of the lua scripts?
