Vend Dispenser

Configurable storage for items, keeps track of their quantity and ejects the exact amount as needed(optional).

Setup:

Basic - you will need a Vending machine, a Console with a Hash display and LED console(to display the quantity), a Dial, a Button and IC housing with a circuit for sure. Optionally, if you want to split items precisely - place the Stacker after the Vend output slot and the Sorter next to the Stacker. The main output of the Sorter(see picture, the ore lies near main output) will eject requested items and the side output will ejects rest(remaining after splitting). You can connect side output back into the Vend or you may try my other work Vend Packager to accumulate leftovers ;)

For the console with hash display choose IC Housing. Set screws: d0 - Vending machine d1 - Sorter (optional) d2 - Stacker (optional) d3 - Dial to switch between items d4 - LED to display items count d5 - Button to request items Done!

Usage

Rotate the dial to select an item - it will count and display the quantity for the selected one. Set desired amount on the Stacker(optional) and push the button. Note: unfortunately, it can't switch selection and count quantity while ejecting.

Configuration

At the top of the script you can find configuration section, replace the hashes in it with what you need to keep in this Vending machine. Example config for ingots:

push -1301215609 # Iron
push -404336834  # Copper
push 226410516   # Gold
push -290196476  # Silicon
push 2134647745  # Lead
push -1406385572 # Nickel
push -929742000  # Silver
push -654790771  # Steel
push 1058547521  # Constantan
push 502280180   # Electrum
push -297990285  # Invar
push -82508479   # Solder
push 412924554   # Astroloy
push 1579842814  # Hastelloy
push -787796599  # Inconel
push 156348098   # Waspaloy
push -1897868623 # Stellite

Automation

Experimental feature, allows control from another IC or via basic logic chips. You will need to set the Setting parameter on the IC Housing to the desired hash, set the Setting on the Stacker and lock it. Example code:

alias DispenserIC d0
alias Stacker d1

s DispenserIC Setting 1758427767  # request Iron Ore
s Stacker Setting 150 # set amount
s Stacker Lock 1 # activate dispenser
yield
l r0 Stacker Lock # when it done, it releases Lock
brnez r0 -2
s DispenserIC Setting 1724793494  # now request Coal
s Stacker Setting 50 # set amount
s Stacker Lock 1 # activate dispenser
