Overview
LocoMFD is a multi-function display for use in diesel locomotives. It provides information about the locomotive such as:
[list]
[*] Engine RPM
[*] Engine Temperature
[*] Speed
[*] Grade
[*] Generator Output
[*] Fuel Left
[*] Fuel Capacity
[*] Fuel usage per minute
[/list]
Several properties have been baked into the controller so no code editing is required. This includes:
[list]
[*] Speed Unit
[*] Volume Unit
[*] Temperature Unit
[*] Maximum Engine RPM
[*] Maximum Engine Temperature
[*] Maximum Speed
[*] Maximum Fuel Capacity
[*] Maximum Generator Output
[/list]
The Lua within the microcontroller has been JIT optimized and will run functions used every frame from the stack rather than from a table call. This should hopefully help if you have lots of these out at once. Not that it was expensive to run in the first place, but I have no idea how many of these will exist simultaneously.
Quick Setup Guide
[list]
[*] Place the controller down
[*] Wire components to their appropriate inputs.
[*] Wire the monitor's power to the "Monitor On" output of the controller. The monitor will always remain on.
[*] Use the "Active" input on the controller to toggle the MFD rather than toggling the monitor. When "Active" is off, it will idle and use no CPU power. Please be kind to your server host and turn it off when you aren't using it, every little bit helps.
