Digital Displays for Any Type of Numbers - WIP

67.1k SnoWFLakE0s  4.9 years ago

I know I'm not the first to do this- there is one here, with an arguably less crappy code. I'm still happy to see that my system works, and better yet it's compatible with any and all types of numbers (whatever you need, be it speeds, distances, time, etc.), so that's a bit more useful. Digital displays would greatly reduce instrument panel sizes and also make the numbers a lot clearer to read, so that's another plus.

My code could definitely use more improvement, especially with going into higher digit places (thousandth, hundredths etc.). If you're proficient with the new input system and could help me out, then I will gladly share you my work and we can come up with an universal system for digital displays.

    Nope, FT is only for inputController type parts. Parachutes are activationGroup operated.

    I forgot to mention that this is very impressive, too!

    Oh my. It seems like, in this case, that the absurd code length is unavoidable. For organizational purposes, you could use a spreadsheet or another scripting language/text editor to display your outcomes. Personally, I used matlab a bit to get familiar with funky trees.
    I have also found it very useful to document (and debug) my code in text files

    This is what I wanted to use the exact returns for values of x. I'm having trouble with the code getting absurdly long, however.

    I would greatly appreciate if you could help out with this! I saw your work with the LED displays, but I'm not sure about how they worked. Mind if you help me out?
