The reset with the output is a great idea. I would like to see a alloy smelting, where I can choice what I want and it will take the right ingredients out of a chute system.
This is outdated, but the new method only takes two logic. A slot reader that you set to the arc, read intake, and whether it's occupied. Then a writer that goes back to the arc and is set to "activate." So when the furnace has something in the intake, it'll effectively press the button and start smelting.
with the addition of turbine generators, you can now put furnace in its own sealed room (with chutes in/out to a separate room), the exhaust gases push turbines, then pick up gases on other side of turbine into atmospherics system
You can actually save 15W power cost, by replacing the Compare Unit with a second Logic Writer (25W compare vs 10W logic writer). I came up with this design when ForceWrite was added. The config needs to be changed a tiny bit, by setting Logic Writer 1's input to the Import Slot Reader, have it Activate the Arc Furnace. Logic Writer 2's input set to Export Slot Reader, have it ForceWrite to Logic Writer 1. Works the same, fully supporting Chute queuing of ores as well and the bonus is 15W less power cost for the same functionality and zero glitching. Enjoy :)
Aha! That’s why it wasn’t working, I’ll have to build this tomorrow. Thanks for the video! Edit: this doesn’t work for volatiles and oxite because they don’t make an output, any tips?
I know it's been over a year since you posted this, but I just wanted to say a big thank you for doing it, and making it so easy to understand and setup.. - Followed along and got it running perfectly first time trying.. :) - Do have a question if I may, what sort of changes would I have to make if I wanted to say have 2 Arc Furnaces side by side? - would I have to do another set of chips?
The setup in this video reading the input and output slots is not necessary. What you should be concerned with is the idle state. Arc furnaces only evaluate to "idle" if they are on and have a material that can be processed in the input slot. All you need is a reader reading the idle state. And a writer sending the value from the reader back to the arc furnace to tell it to activate. And if you want to control multiple arc furnaces you just replace those with a batch reader and a batch writer. The setup in this video still gets "stuck" under certain circumstances and requires slot readers for every arc furnace you add. My setup is two chips with the same settings regardless of how many arc furnaces you're controlling and I've never once had it get "stuck".
can you help me make logic for auto gas canister fill. i need to stop the pump when pressure in tank reach 20000kpa . and start when is under 20000kpa i dont know how setup it. and what i need

Really cool thanks for this tutorial

Cool. Love your videos. Will this work for auto-melting ice? Edit: Tried. It does.
