Turning wall heater on with computer
Im trying to use the computer (loic board) to turn wall heaters on and off based on temp range.
I have the stament conditions working but the actions dont seem to work. I select the wall heater the on property and set the value to 1. Is this a BUG or am I setting this up wrong?

Logic Computers are broken. Only way is to use the chips.

That just sucks. I already wasted hours trying to setup those wall heaters with chips. And still havent found a way to do it with a range value.

check this, the circuits you need is there:

use logic computer for switch a memory set and a logic writer(or batch) to read that memory and turn on/off heaters

I use 3 memory chips one compare chip 2 math chips and a writer chip and a batch writer chip and one reader chip. set the reader to read temp from your sensor, name your memory chips what you will but have 2 contain the value you want the heater to turn on {heat Start} and how many degrees higher you want it to be before it turns off {heat gap} (this avoids the clackclackclack) then use a compare chip to compare the current temp to the other memory chip (the one that currently doesn't have a value). if the current temp is less than the temp temp in the chip (right now it wont be as that memory is reading zero, but we will fix that in a sec) it will return a 1, if not,a zero will be returned. Next have a math chip multiply the compare chip's returned value and the {Heat Gap} memory value, then the next math chip will add the {Heat Start} memory value and the result of the first math chip. then the writer will write that value to the memory chip that didn't have a value (the one your compare chip was looking at). then your batch writer will send the result of the compare chip to the heaters activation value.
What this does is gives you a starting temperature for the heaters to start but the temp that the heaters shut off will be higher (I used 5 as the {Heat Gap} value) so 295 as the {Heat Start} with a 5 {Heat Gap} means the heaters won't shut off till the temp hits 300... these temps are in Kelvin (273K = 0C). You can get fancier and put dials to adjust the {Heat Start} and {Heat Gap} values and you can also use a similar setup for cooling as well. Will need to change the signs for both compare chip and the second math chip. Works very well and is power effecient compared to a computer (Which doesn't currently work)
