Monitor if the quarry is running using Computercraft

[Fredrik Aleksander]

Hey..

is there anyway to monitor if the quarry is running from a computer in (computer craft)

I've tried google for answers. I can't find any.

If there is , could you show me a tutorial where i can find this ? :-), or a script maybe ?

Thank you! :-)

Anybodyy... need to bump this page up ! : D

Yes there is.

With redstonepipes or when engines are running.

If redstone.getInput("[sIDE]","true")

print("Quarry is running")

else

print("Quarry ins't running")

end

Maybe you need to put a 5 sec. buffer or the display get spammed.

What Logge said... I used wireless redstone transmitters hooked up to redstone pipes like that and then set up a big computer with monitor at home to tell me which quarries are running and which aren't.

Worked like a charm until some asshat with sniffer/triangulator raided my quarry site and then my base, which wasn't that far away. True story.

He meant placing a redstone pipe in the middle of wherever your items are piped to. If items are going through, the pipe will emit a signal. If there is no signal for a long time, you know the quarry isn't working for whatever reason. :P
