13:25 MinetestBot   independent56: Aug-10 05:10 UTC <BuckarooBanzai> i think this might help you: https://github.com/minetest-go/mapcleaner but try it on a backup or copy of your world first
13:26 independent56 Is there some way to send a message to a digiline chest to recieve its contents? If so, what's the contents of the return message?
13:26 independent56 The tutorial i'm using, https://h2mm.gitlab.io/web/tutorials/digilines.html , does not mention anything about this.
13:33 independent56 I've just read the minetest wiki; > Digiline Chest (non-locked only): informs on each operation; no requests are supported
13:33 independent56 I guess i'm going to have to wade through source code to make a fork
18:12 jonadab       A chest that can be queried via digiline as to whether it has specific items, would be very useful.
18:13 jonadab       That would significantly simplify the process of automating anything that takes more than one input (alloy furnace, autocrafter, etc.)
20:49 cheapie       jonadab: digilines ships a chest that reports when things are added/removed, you can have a LuaC keep track of the contents based on that (but yeah, a "tell me what's in the chest" command would be great, and it doesn't have that)
21:22 cheapie       I was kind of expecting hooking mesecons up to real-life stuff to take more effort than this, but.... nope, 29 lines later and I appear to now have a blinky plant hooked up to an LED strip.
21:27 Desour        cheapie: sounds cool! do you have more details? :eyes:
21:28 cheapie       Desour: Not much, at the moment it's just trivial glue between mesecons and https://github.com/vsergeev/lua-periphery and at the moment only does GPIO output.
21:29 cheapie       It's running on a VisionFive 2 with some random interface board I was given plugged into the GPIO header - the board is meant for an RPi, but the header on this is compatible.
21:29 cheapie       Jeija already did something like this like 10 years ago IIRC.
21:34 Desour        👀
22:02 muurkha       cheapie: that's fantastic!
22:06 * cheapie     takes notes... apparently connecting MT technology to anything outside of MT is seen as more interesting here than even significantly more advanced stuff but that's solely in MT :P
22:06 cheapie       (the CD player saw a lot of interest as well IIRC)
22:08 muurkha       it challenges people's assumptions about the possible
22:09 cheapie       I would expect sufficiently advanced in-game technology to do more or less the same thing.
22:11 muurkha       sometimes, yeah, but only the first time you see it
22:12 muurkha       also in the youtube era nothing visual fits into that category anymore, since pentium pro all our computers can play full-motion precomputed video
22:13 muurkha       so things like unreal and second reality and doom stopped being jawdropping except to those of us who had a visceral understanding of what "256K executable" means
22:14 muurkha       when i went to siggraph (01993?) i saw computers doing a lot of things I'd only ever seen in science fiction
22:14 * cheapie     pokes at I²C some
22:14 muurkha       the LED strip is a bit more like a Lovecraft story or ghost story though
22:15 muurkha       (than science fiction)
22:24 cheapie       I²C is working \o/
22:24 cheapie       (sort of... all it can do right now is read, but at least that part is working)
22:35 Desour        cheapie: when will you use digilines to control an irl elevator
22:36 cheapie       hmm
22:37 MTDiscord     <bla8722> hidden camera show digilines edition lol
