Setting the state of memory or batch writer with IC ?

[Jebbster]

Ive googled it a couple times and searched the forums but couldt quite find it.

What variables do I use when I want to write a code to change the state on the batch writer?
I want the batch writer to output 1 to all my coolers or 0 to turn em off. But my coding just turn the batch writer itself on or off.

Same with a memory actually, how do I change the state of it with the IC coding?
thankful for help!

You can use the IC as input for the batch writer and use

s db Setting r?

or you can use a memory as input for the batch writer an use

s d0 Setting r? # d0 is the memory

.

Thx!
This works for the memory I found out but I cant get it to work for the batch writer.
The memory changes state when I write it like that but nothing happends with the batch writer. Will keep trying though

You must use the IC or the memory as input for the batch writer.

This is my solar control

alias Sensor d0
alias MemOutH d1 # Output Horizontal to Memory
# db Output Vertical to Setting

s Sensor Mode 1 # Horizontal
yield
l r0 Sensor SolarAngle
mul r0 r0 -1
s MemOutH Setting r0

s Sensor Mode 0 # Vertical
yield
l r0 Sensor SolarAngle
div r0 r0 1.5
sub r0 50 r0
s db Setting r0
j 0

I am also having issues with this. I want a batch writer to turn on 2 sets of 2 or more active vents from an ic to push and pull and push air. Please keep in mind I am code dumb and I am still learning...

Had the same problem with using the chip for temperature control. We managed to solve it thus:

1. The IC chip sets the Open state of two switches, one for heaters, one for coolers
   
2. The state of each switch is read by a dedicated logic reader and sent to a corresponding batch writer
   
3. Each batch writer controls the machines themselves

This requires a bit more than a single block of wall space to set up. I believe it should work for your setup as well.

You make batch writer to read its value from IC housing itself, also connect one of D? from housing to batch writer as well and keep batch writer off. In IC code you change IC housing "Settings" by writing to "db"and turn on batch writer for some time through that D? channel using "On" property.

Perhaps an all to obvious one, yet I feel the need to mention it, just to exclude the obvious. Don't forget to jump back to the beginning of the code after reaching the end. Otherwise every task in the code is executed only once.

There are two commands I found for batch: sb and lb

# Close Silo
define Silo 1155865682 # Silo Hash Value
move r1 0
sb Silo Open r1
# Close Silo

# Load Sum of all silos to r0
define Silo 1155865682 # Silo Hash Value
alias SiloTotal r0
lb r0 Silo Quantity 1 # Batch Mode for Sum is 1
# Load Sum of all silos

Hope this helps. I had to find it myself.

Like what DanVegaJAX pointed out, the batch commands in IC10 is a game-changer. I got back into the game about a month ago and recently found out about this command that was added.
