[INACTIVE][MECH] ClockDisplay v0.5 - Digital Clock Library for RedstoneChips [860]

ClockDisplay - Digital Clock Library for RedstoneChips
Version: 0.5 for CraftBukkit [860], RedstoneChips 0.9

Ever wanted to display time visually on your server? Then this is the library for you!
This plugin provides an interface for use between the SensorLibrary daytime circuit and the BasicCircuits segdriver.
Of course, this means that you need the whole RedstoneChips library for this to work.

Features
* Takes inputs from daytime
* Separates digit values
* Outputs two sets of pins for two segdrivers (one for each digit).

This circuit has sign arguments and automatic parameters. Enter this on sign:
Line 1:dclock
Line 2:[gametime/earthtime]
Line 3:[tfhour]
Line 4:[offset]
If no argument is placed on Line 2, earthtime is assumed.
Lines 3 and 4 only apply to the hour mode, and if blank, assume 12-hour mode and default offsets (6 for gametime, 0 for earthtime). tfhour enables 24-hour mode.

Note on offsets: you MUST put something on line 3 if you wish to have offsets. If you don't want 24-hour mode, "false" would be just fine, but ClockDisplay will not recognize an offset without it.

This circuit has three modes. Two are hour modes (12- and 24-hour), and one minute mode. These modes are enabled automatically based on numbers of input and output pins
The setup is as such:
* Hours

- * 12-hour
* 24-hour

- * 5 input bits - direct carry over from a daytime hours circuit, 5 outputs (applies to both 12- and 24-hour modes)
* 8 output bits:

- * 1: clock - for actuating the segdriver (goes into the segdrivers' clock inputs)
* 2-5: ones digit value, from 0-9. This goes into the first segdriver.
* 6: blankPin - this starts the pins for the second segdriver. This segdriver needs 4 inputs, with the blankPin argument on the second line. Take the clock from output 1 to put into this segdriver as well.
* 7-8: tens digit value, 1 or 2 (blankPin takes care of zeroes by not showing a digit).
- Minutes
* 6 input bits: again, a direct carry over from a daytime circuit, this time a 6-output minutes circuit
* 9 output bits:

- * 1-5 are the same as in hour mode
* 6-9 are the tens digit output for minutes, 0-5. As with the second segdriver pins on the hours mode, take the clock from pin 1 and put it into the second segdriver

So, in order to get a full clock display, you are actually required to build two daytime circuits, two dclock circuits, and four segdriver circuits. They will be setup something like this:




HOURS

Code:

[daytimeOut] - [dclockIn]     [dclockOut] - [segdriverIn]
     1       -     1               1      -     A1, B1
     2       -     2               2      -       A2
     3       -     3               3      -       A3
     4       -     4               4      -       A4
     5       -     5               5      -       A5
                                   6      -       B2
                                   7      -       B3
                                   8      -       B4

MINUTES

Code:

[daytimeOut] - [dclockIn]     [dclockOut] - [segdriverIn]
     1       -     1               1      -     A1, B1
     2       -     2               2      -       A2
     3       -     3               3      -       A3
     4       -     4               4      -       A4
     5       -     5               5      -       A5
     6       -     6               6      -       B2
                                   7      -       B3
                                   8      -       B4
                                   9      -       B5

You can then take the outputs from the segdrivers and put them to clock pixels as with a normal segdriver. From the back, they are in counter-clockwise order, i.e.

Code:

    1
2      6
    7
3      5
    4

Where each pixel number corresponds to the output pin number on the segdriver, 1-1, 2-2, etc.
For more information on how to work with the daytime and sedriver circuits, look here and here.

Here are a few pics of the setup:

Installation
* Download RedstoneChips, and the BasicCircuits and SensorLibrary packages (available on the RedstoneChips thread) (no, ClockDisplay is not dependent on BasicCircuits or SensorLibrary, but without the circuits from them, it's not very useful).
* Download ClockDisplay.jar (above)

Changelog

Version 0.5
* Implemented custom offset

Version 0.4

* Implemented earthtime
* Temporarily reset the gametime offset (revert from 0.3)

Version 0.3

* Fixed gametime offset

Version 0.2

* Implemented 24-hour mode (and tested).
* Fixed code for 24-hour mode determination (code now requires only 8 outputs for hours mode).

I have a Problem:
When I will create Dclock than came the message: You've not enough inputs. You need 5 inputs or so.
But i have 5 inputs.
What can I do?
Sorry for my english
Edit: It goes, but my Gametimeclock go 2hour later example if i set 8 clock then the clock point 6 clock why?

 

Now the only thing missing, is a tutorial: how to make the display.....

 

Glad you got it working.

You need to set a custom offset. I set the default to be that way because it's synchronized with the in-game sun. Some people can't stand that, though, so I put the option in. You can read about it in the OP. I'll probably include this in the next tutorial which:

should be coming soon, but I have to get my voice back. I'm still recovering from that cold.

 

Okay thanks it goes i've set offset to 8 is that right?

 

@nairo97 Yes, offset of 8 should line it up with the /time commands.

 

I tested it and it work on craftbukkit #733 (sry for mah bad english...)

 

Hello,
For me it doesn't work, the dclock chip work, but I can't activate the daytime chip. Did you remove the daytime chip of your plugin ? I haven't any error.
P.S. : Sorry for my very bad English, i'm French.

 

The daytime chip is not part of my plugin. It is in the SensorLibrary addon in the RedstoneChips thread (it says so in the OP). And the segdriver is in BasicCircuits.

 

I am really liking this plugin thus far, I just really need some kind of tutorial for the display. But other than that the other tutorials are very informative and helpful.

Thanks
Brad

 

I have basic binary computer going except my minute one wont, is there anyway o can get on server help or a in depth diagram of the setup?

 

awesome plugin

 

OK I've got the 'main system' working, but now it displays something weird:

I think I have to change the 'pixels'... But I don't know the right way to do it. Can someone with a working clock help me? TIA

 

My clock doesn't work properly:

the minutes are 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, none (blank), 00, 01 ....

very strange...
any ideas?
(bukkit #740)

 

Ok, never mind, on my questions.. it was user error (mostly transpositions of syntax).. it was working the entire time. but optical illusion made it appear not to be (colors were reversed was the main issue).

Thanks for the great plugin.

Alex

 

yo ive had this up and working for some days now... set it to show earthtime... but every now and then some levers automatically brakes off and i have to reattach them. why is this happening and is it fixable?

 

I have no idea why it's happening or if it's fixable. It would likely mostly have something to do with RedstoneChips, and not my library. You should look/ask on the RedstoneChips thread.

 

i cant get the first digit of my minutes to work right on my clock, can anyone help me?

 

What's it doing?

The two problems I had when I setup my first one was getting the colors backwards on teh pixel circuits.
First color is the OFF color, 2nd color is the ON color.

The other problem I had is, if you are facing the display as if you're reading it.. it's
.......A(1)
F(6) .... B(2)
.......G(7)
E(5) .... C(3)
.......D(4)

I did this from the back instead of the front, so my pixels were backwards (like in a mirror).

But you should tell us what it's doing, cause there are a lot of things that can cause it not to work right.

P.S. I put letters and #'s on the sample. Some prefer letters, others prefer #'s.

 

well if you want you can connect to my server and see it 50.17.74.228:25565
i have a feeling its in the setup itself and not the display

 

You're welcome Ashley. Simple mistake, I even missed it my first look at your circuit. Darn blankpin argument.

Nice server btw... And now you have a 2nd circuit, to run both gametime and server time.

 

@Malkierian
Good stuff, it's quite interesting seeing a Game-Time clock created by a programmer, but I can't say that it is as impressive as an Game-Time vanilla-redstone 7-seg 24 hour clock.

 

If you mean, big, ungainly, hectares of space needed... Sounds about right

I still took the time to figure out how to use Malkerian's plugin to design a clock circuit that fits inside of one chunk.
Specifically
15 x 16 x 5 blocks

Once Redstone Chips updates to give clocks their own transmitter, and a few other "potential" features.. I might be able to shave another 2 blocks off that size.

 

If by that you mean a clean setup thats just a little bit more "cuboid" space than a single chunk


Clean, and compressed. And most of all, performed solely by Notch-Code.

 

Can I download this design anywhere?

 

No.


But, you may visit www.voxelwiki.com/FAQ to learn more.

 

Hey, is that MP? How did you fly? What mod did you use?

 

So when is the video coming, I'm still waiting for it because I can't get the display to work plz...
EDIT: nvm found a video on youtube (finally)

 

im getting the following error, i thought the error was redchip fault but they say it rests with this plugin any ideas how to fix

we are on the latest RB

 

It would be really helpful for you to show how you made the display and the pixel circuits on the back.
A step by step guide would be brilliant. you explain the wiring very well though, i was very impressed just the display and the pixel circuits im having trouble with.
All in all great plugin.

Also what fly mod are you using?

 

I get the following error with this mod.
