--- Quote from: Conan on January 16, 2012, 10:52:51 PM ---So what exactly are the real features of this excluding running commands/relay forwarding? Also, what do you mean by "4 options?" --- End quote --- The six 1x1 plates behind the computer are the programs. When a key (gray number key) is clicked, it fires a series of relays and projectiles to one of these bricks, depending on which 'program' is being run. The program processes the sequence, and toggles one of its four options. Programs are switched with the toggle button (top-left blue button). Clicking this tells the keys to forward their sequence of events to the next program. Last, the reset button (black X button) reverts the machine to run program 0, and fixes any and all possible problems that could arise if a key gets corrupted somehow (though this has not yet happened). Without doing any fancy eventing, the machine can do a total of 24 different things with one program module (six bricks). If this is still kind of confusing, download it and see it for yourself :) Edit: All I've used it for so far is displaying messages explaining how it works. I also made a test module that changed a few things up in the demo house (change vehicle spawn/color, that sort of thing). |

Oh, so each program controls four options, and the shown/enacted option is selected by pressing a button, while choosing the program is done through scrolling by clicking the blue button. I get it now, sounds pretty darn neat. Only problem would be for non-experienced event users who want to create their own programs. Could you make a version that's a type of arrow keys setup, for bot commands? That would be great for those arcade games. |

Is it kinda like a WORKING iPad? That would be cool. |

From what I read it looks good. |
