Electronic Transmission
What's the difference from create:RotationSpeedController?
When using Create's rotation speed controller as a peripheral and calling
getTargetSpeed(), it triggersRotationPropagator.handleRemoved()which cascades and clears the source of the entire downstream sub-network, leading to unexpected results (e.g. using aeroworks' stepper_servo downstream of the speed controller — changing the speed while activating the stepper motor makes the motor spin erratically). Meanwhile, simulated's analog_transmission is hard to fine-tune.
The Electronic Transmission is a Create kinetic transmission controlled purely by the CC:T peripheral. It does not accept redstone signals and can only be controlled via Lua. It can be placed in the middle of a stress network to adjust the downstream speed in real time.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
setRatio(ratio) |
Set the gear ratio (≥0), ratio mode mainThread=true |
getRatio() |
Get the current gear ratio |
setTargetSpeed(speed) |
Directly set the downstream speed (0~256.00) mainThread=true |
getTargetSpeed() |
Get the target speed |
This block also has a servo mode: the output shaft can be positioned at an absolute angle (±180°, shortest path) via Lua. See Servo Mode.
local t = peripheral.find("ccpe:transmission_peripheral")
-- Ratio mode: downstream = upstream × ratio
t.setRatio(0.5) -- Slow the downstream to 50%
t.setRatio(3.0) -- Speed the downstream up 3× (capped at 256 RPM)
-- Target mode: directly set the downstream speed (0~256, 2 decimal places)
t.setTargetSpeed(128.56)
print(t.getTargetSpeed()) -- 128.56
-- Query the current state
print(t.getRatio())
