Basic Setups
Here are some examples of some setups you can create, once you see how it's done you'll get the hang of it really quickly!
Here is a basic setup for monitoring Furnace progress.
Step 1: Place a Node on the side of the furnace and an Info Reader on Top.
Step 2: Connect the Node to the Info Reader with a Data Cable. This should go into the red input side of the Reader.
Step 3: Right click the Info Reader. Scroll down the available data and left-click on 'Current Time' then right-click on 'Cook Time' under the heading of 'SPECIAL'. This will create a progress bar between the two selected bits of data.
Step 4: Place a Display Screen or Holographic Display on the blue data output on the Info Reader and your done!
Follow the exact steps used to create the Furnace Progress Monitoring above but for an Energy Storage block instead of a Furnace. When you come to select the data 'Current Time' and 'Cook Time' won't be on the list instead select 'Stored' and 'Max Stored' under the heading of 'ENERGY RF'.
The same can be done for Fluid Storage blocks like so. Note as you can see from the image below it doesn't matter which you select first.
Again we are using a Furnace as the example.
Step 1: Create the same setup as for Furnace Processing but instead of an Info Reader use an Inventory Reader.
Step 2: Right-Click the Inventory Reader and click on the Item you want to monitor. All alternatively place the item you wish to monitor in the top right slot. As you can see I selected Iron Ingots.
And your done!
Continuing on from the first example. To monitor multiple Items/Info you don't need another Node you can simply connect over Info Readers/Inventory Readers to the same one. As seen here.
We are now going to create the same setup as above but display the data in another location in the world...
Step 1: Place a Node on the side of the Furnace as before and connect that too a Data Emitter
Step 2: Right-click the Data Emitter and change it's default name from 'Unnamed Emitter' to whatever you want. Here I've chosen 'Furnace'.
Step 3: Create an identical setup to the one above wherever you want to be displaying the data. However, instead of a Node and a Furnace as the input place down a Data Receiver.
Step 4: Right-click the Data Receiver and click on Data Emitter you just created from the list. In this case 'Furnace'
And now you can view you Furnace data wirelessly!
