This will allow you to have a simple "memory" where the latch will save whatever you tell it to save (either On or Off) and keep it until you tell it otherwise.ĥ. If you go back to your persistent/toggle button, and turn it off, the latch switch is still in the On state! This is the magic of the latch switch: it will maintain it's state of whatever you tell it to be. In this case, that node is receiving an On signal. If we hit the button, we basically tell the Latch switch to "set" its state to whatever it's receiving on the BOTTOM BLUE node. This is because the latch switch is currently set to an Off state.ģ. This sends an On signal to the latch switch, however the latch switch does nothing. The latch switch is connected to a siren, which will turn on when the latch sends an On signal.Ģ. We're using a simple button in this case to do the "set" action. We have a persistent/toggle panel connected to the "receive" node in the Off setting. By default, the latch is in an Off state. This "receiver" is important because it works with the BLUE TOP node which is used to "set" the latch state. The BOTTOM BLUE node represents the state to "receive" state. The Red node still will send output as usual. Unlike the other switches, where it didn't matter which nodes you connected wires to, the Latch has very BLUE input specific nodes that do different functions. OverviewThe latch switch is a unique switch type that has a form of memory. Hooray! Our door opens! As mentioned at the start, with an AND switch, it will only output an ON signal if both Inputs attached to the AND switch receive an ON signal. Head over to your terminal/device and use it to turn it on and head back to the door. You'll notice that your door does not open. First, get near your motion sensors to show that they are sending to the AND switch. Keep your wiring tool out so we can observe our AND switch in action. This allows the switch to work with both sensors, so entering and exiting will make the switch work.įinally, hook up the output of the AND switch to the door input. In my screenshot, I'm using an Outpost Keypad, which I connect to the bottom Input socket of the AND switch.Īfter that, we connect BOTH of our motion sensor outputs to the top of the AND switch Input port. Now, let's place our items and hook up the devices. Always raid your nearest Apexa Lab for materials and take everything that isn't bolted down!
Basically, if you use it, it will stay on until you use it again to turn it off. Now, you'll need to find an item in the game that has a persistent toggle action (ex. To begin, let's construct an AND switch from our bench. Note: Make sure your don't get yourself locked out! UsageContinuing with our door system, let's make it so we can lock our house while we're at home (to prevent creatures from opening our door by getting near them). In the next section, we'll assemble an automatic door that will open and close automatically once you pass by. The dim state on the wire means that the output is currently in an Off state. This means that your output is in an On state and sending it's signal to your door to open. When you throw the switch, you'll see your dim red wire glow bright red. Now, keep your Wiring Tool out so you can see how the game shows when your circuit is in operation. If you do what I do on occasion and get yourself locked inside the door, just use the right-click function of the wiring tool to remove the connections to the door, and you'll be able to manually open and close the door. You will need to trigger the door via your dvvice everytime. Use the device to see the door open.Īt this point, it's important to know that your door will no longer open by using it. Once your connection is successful, you should see a line from the output to the input.Ĭongratulations! You've just created a simple door switch. If you mess up, just right-click the circle and it will remove all connections to that spot. It doesn't matter which node you select first, at long as a red goes to a blue in the end, you're OK. Just like starting out, move towards the door and connect it to the blue circle. Remember, since our circuit starts from a red (output), we'll need to connect to a blue(input). You'll hear a click and if you move around, you'll see a red line being created originating from the output circle. From the red dot (output) on your device, left click. Let's first start out with a simple example of inputs and outputs: let's create a door that opens with a hand-print scanner.įirst, let's equip our wiring tool, and get near the terminal (or button if you're using one).
