Long Description

Programmable Logic Controller takes circuit network inputs and uses them in a small program then outputs them to another circuit network.

To open the PLC's GUI check you have the keybind set to what you would like (I personally set it to left click)

The left hand circuit terminal is used for the PLC's input signals, these are then filtered on the "Inputs" tab to convert the selected signal into a variable to use within the program.

The right hand circuit terminal is for the output signals selected on the "Outputs" tab

The program is constructed on the "Program" tab using the dropdown selectors on each line (x100) the tooltip will attempt to explain what each command does but most are simple enough. The boxes to the right are used for the command as parameters (variable names / numbers). Once you are happy with the program clicking the run button (on the program tab) and provided it has enough power it will execute the program each tick

During each tick the PLC will do the following
1- Read signal inputs from the left hand terminal and transfer the selected ones to the variables specified, overwriting anything previously set
2- The PLC will execute all the lines of the program (with exception of any if-then-else that shouldn't execute)
3- Then output the selected variables as the signals specified to the right hand terminal

Clicking the "Close" tab will close the gui as well as the usual pressing "E" or "Esc"

Hopefully this is clear enough if not please complain so i can fix it

Still to come is some form of spotlight video and I will be adding a number of example setups to hopefully better explain the sheer power and flexibility of this beast

If you have any application ideas feel free to let me know i'd love to see how people are using them
Also not while i ave made every effort to fully test everything there may still be bugs

Seems great, i need to actually use it before i can say for sure. But it did spark an error while playing.
See your github issues.
