Dewfire Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 http://www.arduino.cc/ Discovered this while reading through this months Popular Science. I know a lot of us enjoy Tekkit because we can build all sorts of machines and toys to do cool things. When I saw this, I immediately thought about making all sorts of cool things like we do for OpenCC and Computer Craft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol sorry its a running joke when i was in electronic technologies Well, since that's your area, I'm sure it was a running joke for you guys. But for those of us without Engineering degrees. I received my major in Information Tech and Apple's were and still are our running jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neowulf Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I received my major in Information Tech and Apple's were and still are our running jokes. Apples are only running jokes until they receive a minor update and stop both running and being a joke. Arduinos are nice little toys, but a raspberry pi is what you want for real fun. And they even have a free minecraft that supports modification of the game world by external scripts. I had a pre-revision pi (half the memory and no mounting holes), but I gave it to my nephew.

I had a pre-revision pi (half the memory and no mounting holes), but I gave it to my nephew. was going to mention raspberry pi, but couldn't remember what it was called. :-) would something like that work for tekkit, or is it somehow limited in memory/power? The last I read (which was a while ago) was before I got into Minecraft/Tekkit. EDIT: I see here that you can make a server on it, but I have a feeling that Tekkit might be too much to hope for.

Neowulf Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yeah, tekkit would eat a pi for breakfast. Maybe half a dozen pis clustered together could get it started, but then you have networking latency and all that jazz. Best use would be as a small server with a physical bridge. Use the GPIO to control stuff based on in game actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewfire Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Oh that does look cool, thanks. And yea, just picking on Apple's because it's fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
