Display Item Count With Lamps?
Posted: Wed Oct 05, 2016 11:07 pm
Hi all!
I'm curious as to how to count items with the circuit network, then display it in the world so that I can see at a glance how many items I have.
The purpose is for my train stations so that I can see there's 20k iron ore in the buffer or none and know that I need more.
I've a basic understanding of the circuit network and logic, but when we get to more than controlling sections of factory based on inputs, I get a bit confuddled.
A) 7 segment display-like system or "pixels"?
B) Is the circuitry going to be bigger than a reasonable train station?
C) Basically, how would I do this?
