BETA Kristofs BASEMENT DRILL script DEMO BUILD for Zues

Description
Zues requested this drill script as an adaptation of my ROTOR + 2 piston groups script.
This one uses no rotor but 3 piston groups.
This is a BETA and intended for Zues to check. It will be replaced by a final version once approved.

Changes to variables should be done in the CUSTOM DATA of the Programmable block.

ok. Have a look after some sleep if the info on the LCD is as shown on the screenshot I added here. The last line should show the speeds used for pistons. if needed, try "reset". Thanks for this build idea, I really like it myself and use it already in my world. I await your final testing to release it.

The rig is drilling as entended now but dont seem to see any speed difference G 2 and 3 still really slow infact I would say 2&3 are slower then the G1 "down" will do some more testing later after getting some sleep

Script updated to use 2 speeds. Drilling piston group at 0.5 and group 2/3 at 2
This makes the drill go a lot faster when moving the "printhead".

Question : I think we should have 2 different speeds for the piston group 1 and for 2 and 3.
The drills should go slow up and down as they need some time. But the movement of our "printhead" could go a lot faster as this happens in the air. I think I will change the script for this

updated the workshop item. You can test again. Sorry for the mistake in the groups.

I think I found it. The groupo "outward" had the 3 pistons of the other group in them as well.
I did fix that many times already and do not understand why it gets back to 6 in tthem.
I deleted the group and created it again. Now running a test drill and then will update this workshop item.

It should work as you describe. I will check it myself again starting from the blueprint.

Im no coder and I have no delusions of being a coder. group 1 goes down check group 2 goes out check all working so far but when the 3rd group starts it goes a full piston and skips a full drill with then group 1 goes down and up but group 2 does not retract so just makes a hole the lenth and with of the drills then moves group 3 again. leaveing a space then repeating.

I looked at it like a printer
G1 down then up G2 out then G1 down and up again ... ...
left just a lil like one block with witch would be like 2.5m G1 down and up G2 in G1 down and up G2 in again ... ... till G2 is fully retracted then left 2.5m G1 donwn and up (so on and so forth)

That sounds confusing ill explain with out Group 1

out,out,out,left 2.5m in,in,in left 2.5m out,out,out.

like a printer. it goes left roles one line comes back right roles one line goes back left so on and so forth.


Now like I said Im not coder and by the look of your pic it worked for you but something went wrong on my end.

so I tried it out and not sure if im doing someting wrong but it did not preform like the first pic on this page at all
