PDA Controller

PDA

How to use

The PDA Controller can be attached to any side of a Computer except for the bottom

The peripheral has plenty of functions and events.

Get a full list of them here

Colors

Some functions need a color parameter here you have to pass in an integer.

The easiest way to calculate this number from a hexadecimal A-R-G-B value (two hexadecimal digits for the Alpha-, Red-, Green-, Blue-value) (Alpha of FF => fully visible)
is to use this website.
You will have to input your 8digit Hex-number to the HEX input filed a the top. Now press the enter key.
You now pick the value in the field (decimal-column and 3rd row from bottom).
Now you simply multiply this value by -1. This is what you have to pass into the function.

Examples

A GUI accessible by using (right-click) the PDA, that allows to set Redstone Outputs of the computer. (pastebin)

found a bug: You didnt state what version of Minecraft this supports.

xuma202 05 Apr 2012

Thanks I've added it.

You should add some sort of channel switch, because so far it can only use one thing.

FuzzyPurp 06 Apr 2012

As well as it needs more functions.

Great idea. Still thinking how to realize this. I could add a selection when you use the PDA. But opening the GUI by the Computer could get difficult maybe there will something like a popup message that could be sent by a computer like "NEW update chicken-farm" or so and when you then use the PDA you can switch between all Channels.

In the next update I'll definitely add the ability to add, delete and modify Buttons without having the GUI open. I think I have to take a closer look at the GUI API maybe.

I've just updated the add-on for MC 1.2.4

kamnxt 09 Apr 2012

Thanks for updating!

Don't try this code:

side = "top"
pda = peripheral.wrap(side)
pda.registerAsEventListener()
pda.createGui()
while true do
os.pullEvent()
pda.displayGui()
end

It makes it impossible to close the PDA GUI...

xuma202 09 Apr 2012

You can do this even more easy:

side = "top"
pda = peripheral.wrap(side)
pda.setOption("closeOnEscape", false)
pda.createGui()
pda.displayGui

WARNING: DO NOT TRY!

You would have to quit the game in order to close the GUI

woah nice but as mentiond needs more functions

xuma202 11 Apr 2012

Yes, I know that it would be great if you can easily put checkboxes, edit fields and process bars on the GUI.
And I'll definitely add this but for now it's already possible:

For a text field you could draw a black rectangle with a gray border made out of lines. You save a lua variable whether the field is selected. When the mouse get's pressed you compare the coordinates and if the click was performed inside the field you select it otherwise you deselect it. When a key get's pressed you add the char to a variable and add the text to the GUI right above the rectangle. You would just have to limit the length of the value .

So as you can see you could do it. But of course it's not easy and it's slow. That's why I'll definitely add this.

I only what to give a way of how you can do it until the mod get's updated.

What I would love to see is SMP Support and another thing: You can mark the port to 1.2.4 as done on your to do list

xuma202 13 Apr 2012

Well there will not be SMP support or at least not in the near future because I have no experience in SMP mods yet.
If someone is interested in making this mod a SPM mod send me a PM and I'll serve you the source code.

PS: updated the to do list.

WiolfCat7 28 Apr 2012

FAIL I CANT EVEN CREATE A GUI NO MATTER WHAT I TYPE IT SAYS ATTEMPT TO CALL NIL AND YES I PUT THE THING NEXT TO THE COMPUTER

xuma202 30 Apr 2012

Well have you wraped the Peripheral?
Also you can only place it next to a side or the top!
You then have to create the GUI and after that you can add stuff to it and then you can display it but make sure you have a PDA in hotbar!

xuma202 04 Jun 2012

Sorry guys I totally missed the update. But as I found out the 1.2.4 version works just fine on 1.2.5

Yurameki 30 Jun 2012

great in concept, more flexibility and SMP support are a must!

Soundlogic 20 Jul 2012

I am trying to use this, and it seems to work fine, except that the PDA keeps going to id 256 and stealing my iron shovel. I am using id resolver, but both id resolver and your config file are set to things besides 256. I'm not quite sure what to do.
Thank you,
Sound Logic
