OmniBeam Arm Controller

Description
OmniBeam Arm Controller Script

Requirements

How to use the script
  • Example usage is in this test world
  • Please see the configuration at the top of the script's code. It tells you the block and group names to use.
  • The welding will not start automatically on recompiling the script.
  • To start the welding run the PB with argument: start
  • To stop the welding run the PB with argument: stop

Remarks
  • Works both in creative and multiplayer
  • The script can control any number of arms
  • Put only the azimuth rotor bases of each arm into the OmniBeam Arms group, not the whole arms
  • Supported arm structure: Advanced Rotor azimuth (base), Hinge elevation, OmniBeam X-1100
  • The LCD panels are optional, they are useful for debugging
  • This script is a minified release version
  • Source code for development: GitHub repository[github.com]

Enjoy!

I've tried setting this up in my own world and couldn't get it to work, so I downloaded the test scenario you posted and that also doesn't work, nothing happens when I hit the run button

I have not testing the test world I just built it like the image.

Does the test world linked from the description work?

Do you have welder arms built the same way as in the test world?

Does those script work when you have multiple projectors called Shipyard Projector? Mainly for when I switch between building small grid and large grid.

As you can see on the left there are problems with the script


Your idea is impressive, but implementing it is a bit difficult for beginners

and it would be much more helpful if you just made a video rather than a complete guide

I just downloaded the world and tried it without success

Please check the LCD names and the arm grouping in the test world linked from the description for clarification.
