Hello,

There was a time when I wanted to use ComputerCraft and mod Remain in Motion to create elevator. But it was to big challange for someone who just learned to write websites in http. So I decided to make simple program that would show informations from reactor( from Big Reactors) that is a little bit far from "control room".So here are mine creations:

Simple Big Reactor Monitor
SpoilerInstallation:

Monitor:
  • Place advanced computer somewhere
  • Place wireless modem on right side of computer
  • Place 2x2 advanced monitors on top of computer
  • Download program from http://pastebin.com/heRkMmR7
  • Edit few variables (like monitor,modem sides and protocol at which programs will share informations)
  • Run program
Computer sending informations:
  • Place normal or advanced computer in the way that back side of computer face computer port of reactor
  • Place wireless modem on left side of computer
  • Download program from http://pastebin.com/3t2s6Ujk
  • Edit few variables (like reactor,modem sides and protocol at which programs will share information)
  • Run program
Remember to change protocol for different reactor.
Screens:

With little bit of copy&paste you can watch few reactors on one monitor program

NEW! Advanced Big Reactor monitor
Upgraded version of Simple Big Reactor Monitor with little bit of control.
SpoilerInstallation:

Monitor:
  • Place advanced computer somewhere
  • Place wireless modem on right side of computer
  • Place 2x2 advanced monitors on top of computer
  • Download program from http://pastebin.com/kdesbE49
  • Edit few variables (like monitor,modem sides and protocol at which programs will share informations)
  • Run program
Computer sending informations:
  • Place normal or advanced computer in the way that back side of computer face computer port of reactor
  • Place wireless modem on left side of computer
  • Download program from http://pastebin.com/N8KufLsZ
  • Edit few variables (like reactor,modem sides and protocol at which programs will share information)
  • Run program
Remember to change protocol for different reactor.Also data and power protocols must be different(on one computer not between reactor and monitor).
Screens:

To do list:
  • Installation for dummies,peripherals will find themselfs(no need for manual configuration)
  • Active cooling and turbine support
  • Another program that can control grid of reactors
Feel free to post any advice,suggestion.Thanks in advance for both.
Also feel free to use my programs or their fragments, but if you can send me a message so I can learn a little bit.

Yea ,but original " Redstone In Motion" had little bit broken ComputerCraft carriage engine so I used fork.

How hard would it be to add a push button on that monitor to turn the reactor on and off remotely?

I managed to make basic turn off ,turn on mechanic on whole screen.
Now I'll try to figure out how to make button overlay over status thingy.
After that adding feature to set rods level will be very easy.
If I won't figure it out I'll update this program on forum to version with whole screen thing.

Nice job! I thought about adding one, but not too great with the modem communications yet.
