[F&S] Full Auto Airlock

Description

Fully automated airlock, just build and forget. Works in all kinds of modes, atmosphere to vacuum, atmosphere to atmosphere, vacuum to vacuum. Automatically equalizes pressure between transitions to different parts of the base (Unlike a in-game advanced airlock, there is no need to adjust the pressure in the console for the external and internal atmosphere, everything is automated). Can work even if the pressure is not constant and changes rapidly. Supports bypass mode. Works faster than built-in game airlock. Prevents the atmosphere from passing into a pure vacuum room (So you don't have to worry about leaking a few cmol of gas.)

Important

You must separate the electrical lines with a transformer or APC, otherwise IC10 may read incorrect values. Kill Switches are optional but strongly recommended option. It is recommended to place a APC with a battery, so as not to get stuck in the airlock when the power goes out. For faster operation of the airlock, you should connect buffer with gas, and not just place passive ventilation. See screenshot 3 (Yes, you can leave out the pressure regulator, but sometimes the pipe can explode) Don't forget to connect the logic reader to the gas sensor in the airlock var = pressure. Airlock size limited to 1 cube (because it is difficult to determine the movement of the atmosphere inside the airlock with just 1 sensor).

Emergency Kill Switch

Mortality among stationeers in the airlock is approaching 99%, in order to prevent this outcome, it is highly recommended to place emergency switches. When the emergency kill switch is switched, all doors are instantly unlocked, active ventilation is turned off and can be controlled manually. If you have lost electricity, the doors are not locked, you can open them with a crowbar.

Note

You can choose not to place 1 sensor and 1 active ventilation (Mode Pressure to Vacuum). You can choose not to place external and internal sensors with active ventilation (Mode Vacuum to Vacuum). You can build full scheme, if there is a vacuum on both sides, then mode bypass is activated. Due to game restrictions on the amount of code, it is not possible to make a bypass mode between atmosphere to atmosphere. (Requires a lot of calculations) It doesn't matter which side the external or internal exit (When ic10 switched on, the external door is always closed and the internal door opens).
