Computer APIs

Overview

IR is fully compatible with OpenComputers, and mostly compatible with ComputerCraft. You can find a Getting Started Guide for using IR with OC here.

Augments

All augments interface with OC via an Adapter block, and are exposed using the components API. They will also fire OpenComputers events, using the name ir_train_overhead; you can listen for them with:

local event_name, net_address, augment_type, stock_uuid = event.pull("ir_train_overhead")

Loco Control Augment

The component name is ir_augment_control. To learn more about this augment, see it's dedicated page. Don't forget to set the augment to COMPUTER mode by right-clicking it with a redstone torch!

setThrottle(number): sets the throttle to a value between -1 and 1, where -1 is full-reverse and 1 is full-forward
setBrake(number): sets the brake to a value between 0 and 1
setHorn(number): fires off the locomotive's horn for the given number of ticks
getPos(): returns the augment's position
getAugmentType(): returns the augment's type

Detector Augment

The component name is ir_augment_detector. To learn more about this augment, see it's dedicated page.

info(): returns information about the stock/locomotive overhead
consist(): returns summary information about the full train overhead
getTag(): returns the stock/locomotive tag
setTag(string): sets the stock/locomotive tag
getPos(): returns the augment's position
getAugmentType(): returns the augment's type

Cards

IR provides cards for Open Computers, however no analogue exists for ComputerCraft as of this revision.
