I, NEVER being content with anything, am in the process of adding MORE stuff to the elevator system. I’ll keep this post short and sweet… features being added:
- Owner menu’s for doors and controller.
- I’m adding a menu to the doors and controller similar to the one in the elevator car.
- Allows me to access information for the doors and controller and verify settings.
- Owner menus have a back door that allow me to pull up the menu.
- Communications Test.
- Select “Test Comms” from the controller to verify communications of all doors and cars.
- Allows you to quickly find items that aren’t communicating with the controller.
- Teleport.
- You’ll be able to right click the arrow buttons on doors to teleport to the floor above and below your current floor.
- Now you get the best of both worlds!
- You get the style of an advanced elevator with the ease of teleporting on those lazy days.
- More statistics.
- Doors and the controller have a status button that will show you stats such as is in the elevator cars.
- Controller will tell you how many commands it has processed.
- Doors will tell you how many times they’ve opened.
- Let’s you roughly estimate which floors are the popular ones.
Example communications test (car comms not implemented yet):
Elevator Controller whispers: Testing communications. Please wait 5 seconds while information is gathered…
Elevator Controller whispers: Completed gathering information. Please wait while the information is formatted for viewing…
Elevator Controller whispers: 6 door(s) responded:
Elevator Controller whispers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Elevator Controller whispers: 0 car(s) responded:
Elevator Controller whispers:
Elevator Controller whispers: Done.
Elevator Controller whispers: Check your list of doors for missing numbers and then check the corresponding door for problems.
Elevator Controller whispers: Duplicate entries may mean that you have another elevator system nearby that is on the same channel. Make sure that there is a gap of 5 or more between the channels of neighbouring elevator systems.
Elevator Controller whispers: Check your list of cars ensuring that there is only 1 car listed.
