So custom labels after a default generic label would be great too!Ĭould you image a massive stationary piston drilling platform with various button panels for extending and retracting pistons, rotating the rotors, toggling the drills, increasing and decreasing the rpm of the rotating drill bank as well as the rate at which we are slowly extending the pistons and plunging them into the planet? As we toggle these various buttons having the values they alter displayed on a wall of panels would be AMAZING.

For instance the default for piston length would say "PistonA Length: X" whereas this may be a part of aground clearance suspension system for a large ground vehicle and I might edit the value to read instead "Ride Height: X". And as this is a "custom" value that is an amalgum of other like values having the ability to edit the text label displayed above the value would allow me to name it "Total Drill Depth" or maybe there should be a way to rename the text displayed on the LCD for any of the values being displayed in this fashion so we can personalize the way we interpret the information.

In the event that this is a three piston long piston drill then displaying this added together value would tell us the full drill depth regardless of which pistons are extended or not. Print lengthextended piston1 + piston2 + piston3 For instance, instead of displaying on the LCD: (2) Furthermore, it would be nifty if using the programming block or however the above was implemented I could add like values together from other blocks. If its decided to allow us to display multiple values on one monitor I would hopevwe could reserve the ability to only have one info value per monitor because I like my big words and numbers :). So if I want to view piston length and piston velocity I would have to build 2 monitors and link each to the piston in question and then select the corresponding Info's to display on each separately. Perhaps each monitor could display a single chosen value. Similar to when I do this with a button panel to change its properties with a button, I would after selecting it choose from some of the values in it I can display to the monitor, like piston length, piston velocity, etc. I open its control panel and target or select a piston block.


I would like to be able to display on an LCD the length in meters a piston is extended, or the degree a rotor is rotated, or any of these values we can read from our blocks in the control panel. Viewing the piston in control panel allows me to see how far its extended in meters. (1) Create an option for an LCD to link to a specific block similar to how we link to functions of blocks with button panels, and display the info to the LCD that we can read on these blocks in the control panel.įor instance, with a button panel I can increase or decrease a pistons Velocity to extend it among other things.
