Power Status Panel

Description
Have you ever dreamed of being able to see all of your power information on an LCD once and for all ? Sure there are better scripts BUT this one is easy "click to install" and that's it!

I grew tired of trying to use someone else's script so I simply created a new one and it will show you :

Number of Batteries
Number of SolarPanels
Current total power input / max total power input
Input power efficiency (With a nice status bar)
Current total power output
Current total power charge / max total power charge (Again with a nice status bar)

and the option part, if you have your panels set on rotors, the angle of rotation for each individual rotors.

Now for the instructions :

-Simply Rename the LCD to : PowerStatus
-If you want to get rid of the rotor part as it's purely informational and even that information is not that useful for most of you, you have to open the script, scoll down to the bottom and delete the part between the two comments that mark the beginning of the script and the end of it and it's done!

Now I'm aware that there is an issue when you dock different ships through a connector to the main vessel/station. I am trying to fix it, however, since it has more to do with the way batteries work, there isn't much I can change at the moment. I could instead use the solar panels in order to determine the total power input but then again, it wouldn't count the reactors either, which I'm currently adding up to the script.

If anything breaks, feel free to leave a comment

I want a script that can show me what is taking all the power like the old HUD used to

I'm not going to say that it is better than A-LCD2 as it's not an inventory management script, simply a way to show how much power is used and produced on a grid, as well as the efficiency of the solar panels. It was meant to be as simple as possible.

well, is this better than Automatic LCDs 2 ? What are the gains comparing ?

Well, last time I tested, it still did. However, I haven't played since the updates broke all the maxSpeed mods. That said, the API didn't really change and the language sure didn't so it should still be ok
