OC XNet Driver

ocxnetdriver

OpenComputers + XNet = :heart:

Allows OpenComputers to utilize XNet networks to transfer items, fluids and energy to connected blocks.

Known Issues

• This is currently unrestricted, i.e. you can transfer humongous amounts in no time.

Simple energy transfer example

local component = require('component')
local sides = require('sides')
local serialization = require('serialization')

local xnet = component.xnet

print(serialization.serialize(xnet.getConnectedBlocks()))
-- {
--    {pos={y=-1,x=0,z=0},name="thermalexpansion:cell",side="west",meta=0},
--    {pos={y=-1,x=1,z=0},name="opencomputers:case3",side="north",meta=1},
--    {pos={y=-1,x=-3,z=0},name="thermalexpansion:dynamo",side="east",meta=2,connector="Dynamo"},
--    {pos={y=0,x=0,z=0},name="xnet:controller",side="west",meta=3},
--    n=4
-- }

-- Find a dynamo and a cell and store their position etc
local energySource = nil
local energyTarget = nil

for i,block in ipairs(xnet.getConnectedBlocks()) do
    if(block.name == "thermalexpansion:dynamo") then
        energySource = block
    elseif(block.name == "thermalexpansion:cell") then
        energyTarget = block
    end
end

-- Abort if no source could be found
if(energySource == nil) then

    os.exit(1)
end

-- Abort if no target could be found
if(energyTarget == nil) then
    print("No cell found. Aborting!")
    os.exit(2)
end

-- Transfer 1000RF from source to target using the sides next to the XNet Connector
local transferred, error = xnet.transferEnergy(energySource.pos, 1000, energyTarget.pos, sides[energySource.side], sides[energyTarget.side])
if(transferred ~= nil) then
