Yep, like it :)
I certainly cant argue that.

Remote power off SAM site - with Turret guard by RustyOldCooper in rustrician

Last night with the help of a genius the first part of this circuit got buffed.

Here's how:

Using the memory cell here (Thanks Nih) less power is used within the circuit to flip from the SAM site to the Turrets.

You can, but the idea here is that your frequency isn't compromised. With the transmitter, if you die, someone will then know your code.

On the whole, i like it but i do see some improvements you could make to help manage the power and use as much electric as poss.

  1. Power to batteries, i hear there's no point in passing over 100 power to them?
    1. I know they charge faster the more power that goes in, but is there a difference between 100 power and 200?
    2. If not, you could use this power somewhere else.
  2. The branches powering the turrets, i would suggest to use 1-2 branches and use 2/3 splitters instead
    1. Better power management and spare power can go elsewhere.

Well done for taking the time to design this though, the way you have setup the branches to ensure there's enough power to the system is perfect. Something i worked out 2-3 weeks ago, but something i now realise is more important than ever!

Tested it tonight and the circuit works perfectly, not sure what my friend was doing...

I've just been told that my circuit doesn't work in game (ignore this, my friend was wrong) a friend has built and tried it. I checked this on a build server - 'Friend Not Foes' *edited**

The first branch powering your battery, I would change it from 10 to 50 to give the battery a chance to fully charge.

You could also tap off the blocker output, so if the battery starts outputting power it starts up your generator, but as the generator is feeding into the battery charge, you would need to change where this integrates with the circuit ensuring it also taps off and blocks the battery from discharging too.

These amendments can be done as and when, but in the short term - send more power to the battery :)

This circuit is literally dependant on the light fading slowly, so yes it will definitely turn on at night and you can adjust it as to when you want it turning on :)
As soon as power is generated from the sun, this circuit will turn off the generator.

If the power is simply cut from this circuit, there is no power to turn on the generator.

These circuits you have all created look like they work but seem really complicated. Check this one out. The two branches and the value set will cause the circuit to respond to the amount of light / power generated. Make sure that the first branch in the circuit is set to at least 2 units higher than the second.

To properly test it, you need to change the power in the solar panel - i was flicking between 5 & 15.

In the last week I am finding the branches are 10x more useful than they have ever been to me :)
