[UPDATE] Singal Strength Calculator - shadekiller666 - 10-10-2013 ![]() Update: I have set a warp for the device. To get to it use "/warp ssc". If you do "/pwarp shadekiller666" there is also a sign that has the warp on it, if you right click that sign it will also warp you to the calculator. Hello everyone, a few weeks ago while working on Sudoku 2.0 with Newomaster, I was doing a lot of bussing with analog signals and was getting frustrated with having to test how much of an item I needed to put into an inventory to get a desired signal strength. I got so tired counting and doing the stupid formula (yes there is a formula), that i built a "calculator" (it doesn't really calculate anything, its just a screen hooked up to a massive ROM unit) so that if anyone ever needs to know how many items they need, there is an easy way of finding out. I have yet to make a warp to it yet as im not sure if I'm going to move it, nor do i know exactly what to call it or the warp (suggestions are welcome), in the mean time, to get to it, warp to /pwarp shadekiller666, turn around and look up, the massive quartz and orange/gray wool is the screen, the control room is on top. To use it: 1. Input the desired signal strength in binary on the left side of the room by flipping the levers. ![]() 2. Input the number of slots/type of inventory (Furnace, Hopper, Dispenser/Dropper, 1-wide Chest/Trapped Chest, 2-wide Chest/Trapped Chest) by pressing the corresponding button on the back wall of the room. ![]() 3. Input the maximum size of a stack of whatever item it is that you want to use on the right-hand wall. (ie. if you want to use cobble, the stack size would be 64, using a tool like a picaxe or sword would be a stack size of 1, and using snowballs would be a stack of 16). ![]() 4. When you have entered these three things, press the "Enter" button on the right-hand wall and wait a second or two. The screen will display the number of items required. If the screen doesn't update after a few seconds, press it again. An output of "----" means that it is not possible to get the desired signal strength with the specified inventory type and stack size. ![]() This is what it looks like from where you land when doing /pwarp shadekiller666: ![]() The Redstone: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Come use it any time! ![]() And please help me come up with a name ![]() RE: [UPDATE] Singal Strength Calculator - Xeomorpher - 10-15-2013 ![]() RE: [UPDATE] Singal Strength Calculator - David - 10-15-2013 I think this is the hard way of doing it, why not program it in a programming language. But hey, it works and it's awesome. So you've got my approval!
