Open Lights Controller

Requires Open Computers and Open Lights

Setup

• Drop the mod in the mods folder

Blocks

• Open Lights Controller (4 block range)
• Open Lights Controller (8 block range)
• Open Lights Controller (16 block range)
• Open Lights Controller Border

Usage

-- Require component and event
component = require("component")
event = require("event")

-- Get the attached Open Lights Controller component
lc = component.openlightscontroller

-- The letters define which axis the coordinates are for
-- The value on that axis increases as it follows the border blocks away from the controller
lc.calibrate("ZY")
w,h = lc.getSize()

-- The whole grid of lights is filled with yellow and set to brightness 15
lc.fillColor(0xffff00)
lc.fillBrightness(15)

-- The light at (1,1) is set to black
lc.setColor(0x000000,1,1)

-- The lights in the area defined by (2,2) and (w,h)  are set to red
lc.fillColor(0xff0000,2,2,w,h)

-- The changes are applied to the lights
lc.apply()

-- Wait until the interrupt event
event.pull('interrupt')

-- The whole grid of lights is filled with black
lc.fillColor(0x000000)

-- The changes are applied to the lights
lc.apply()

LUA API

• [x:number] means these arguments are optional
• {x:number} means that the arguments are repeatable, or the return value is an array

Method	Description
function apply():string;	Applies the current cached lighting data to the lights.
function isCalibrated():bool;	Checks if the light controller is calibrated.
function calibrate(direction:string):string;	Calibrate light controller.
function getBorderAxes():string, string;	Get border axes.
function getBorderDirections():string, string;	Get active border directions.
function getSize():number, number;	Get size of light grid.
function setColor(color:number, {x:number, y:number}):string;	Set the light color as an RGB value. Returns the new color as an RGB hex string. Use tonumber(value, 16) to convert return value to a usable numeric value. The controller caches this until apply() is called.
function fillColor(color:number, [x1:number, y1:number, x2:number, y2:number]):string;	Fills a specific region or the whole grid to a specific RGB value. Returns the new color as an RGB hex string. Use tonumber(value, 16) to convert return value to a usable numeric value. The controller caches this until apply() is called.
function setBrightness(brightness:number, {x:number, y:number}):number;	Set the brightness of the light. Returns the new brightness. The controller caches this until apply() is called.
function fillBrightness(brightness:number, [x1:number, y1:number, x2:number, y2:number]):number;	Fills a specific region or the whole grid to a specific brightness. Returns the new brightness. The controller caches this until apply() is called.
function getColor({x:number, y:number}):{string};	Get the light color as an RGB hex string. Use tonumber(value, 16) to convert return value to a usable numeric value. The controller returns the current color use getCachedColor() to get the currently cached color.
function getBrightness({x:number, y:number}):{number};	Get brightness of the light. The controller returns the current brightness use getCachedBrightness() to get the currently cached brightness.
function getCachedColor({x:number, y:number}):{string};	Get the light color as an RGB hex string. Use tonumber(value, 16) to convert return value to a usable numeric value. Use getColor() to get the current color of the light.
function getCachedBrightness({x:number, y:number}):{number};	Get brightness of the light. Use getBrightness() to get the current brightness of the light.
function getMaximumBorderSize():number;	Get the maximum border size. This changes depending on the tier of the light controller.
