v0.34 Talk:Minecart logic

Double-carted power-to-signal converter

"The light green gear is still engaged but no power is being sent to it because the dark green is off." - Why is this the case? Is the pressure plate linked to the dark green gear assembly in addition to the intended output machines? If so, why is this not stated in the article? --Quietust 10:52, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

• • Power is coming in on the bottom gear, so when it is disengaged by the pressure plate it doesn't matter that the top gear is engaged, or not, no power can be transmitted up the axel to activate the roller. It made sense to me... but that whole area needs re-writing to remove the personal voice anyway, I guess. --TinyPirate 10:57, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Isn't this more of a latch? If i understand it correctly, it must be switched off with a signal and won't turn off when power to the gear is cut. --Larix (talk) 17:57, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

PS: if i haven't got it completely wrong, it's simply a NOT gate, but this fact is obscured by the complicated operation. The proof of a Power-to-Signal generator is deconstructing an axle or other powered component so power connection is lost without signals: this should turn the device off. --Larix (talk) 01:55, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

I added a mention of the stuff i've worked on and added a link to my user page. Edits and suggestions for improvement are welcome.--Larix (talk) 17:59, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

ASCII diagrams

Planning a bit of a redesign, including implementing ASCII diagrams (which I believe are preferred? but correct me if mistaken). Problem: anybody know where I can find that minecart character? better yet, anybody willing to just paste it into a response for me? Vasiln (talk) 04:50, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

It's at character table somewhere (the variable-width font makes it hard to tell, especially on mobile, so I'm not sure exactly what it is).

Also, I've been working on a diagram replacement, which will hopefully be up soon once Briess gets a chance to deploy it. It has more syntax features and actually displays things in the DF font. :) (feel free go ahead and set up diagrams, though - I feel like diagrams are more efficient than a series of small pictures). —Lethosor (talk) 12:50, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Okay, according to the raws it's 254, which looks like a square to me on the table (and here): ■

also looks like a square, so I'm not really sure if that's right or not. —Lethosor (talk) 13:01, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Never mind, it has [INVERTED_TILE]. Just change the colors and it should work. —Lethosor (talk) 13:04, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much!
