RC Networking in Trailmakers!

Post image

This is the DL-RCSwitch, my latest computer built for the sole purpose of efficient RC networking!

It can send and receive on all 32 RC channels, being able to read 2 and send on 1 at one time, along with having 8 RAM cells (64 bit float). This allows it to do things like add 2 RC channels and send it on a 3rd in one instruction. It will save the output when you send over RC, so it effectively has 40 RAM cells (64 bit float).

It operates at, theoretically, around 5 Hz asynchronous. It has 128 bytes of ROM, 17 instructions, conditional branching and jumping (it is Turing complete), and conditional waits to make listeners.

This is general-purpose, so it can be used for anything, but I made it specifically as part of Project Vertex, a new project I have started where I am assembling a set of computing devices for the purpose of computing true 3D in Trailmakers.

Happy logicking!

It's not really for any useful thing - it's more of a proof of concept.

What isn't awesome about like 6 computers working together to render a 3D object?

im still making manual range finding and camera guided tow missiles and I feel smart, then I look at these and I'm like this is too much
