Bus Transceiver (Project Red)

The Bus Transceiver is a redstone circuit added by Project Red. It is a logic gate for the controllable direction blocking of signal transmissions in Bundled Cables and Colored Bundled Cables (see Usage).

If the mod MineChem is installed, then you can decompose the Bus Transceiver with the Chemical Decomposer into specific chemical compounds of MineChem.

Usage


For an easier usage, NEI and WAILA could be installed, which shows the input and bus sides on the Bus Transceiver.

The Bus Transceiver has two input/output side (BUS) for Bundled Cables and Colored Bundled Cables, and two input sides (IN) for Red Alloy Wires, redstone, an adjacent circuit or everthing that produces a redstone signal.

The grey bars displays the directions which is controlled by the respective input side (IN) of the gate. In the picture on the right, the right input side controlles the signal direction from the lower bus to the upper bus, and the left side controlles the signal direction from the upper bus to the lower bus.

If a redstone signal recieves about a bundled cable the lower bus of the gate, then the signal is only transmitted to the upper bus, if the blockage is removed through a redstone signal receiving the right input side (IN). The left input side has no influence in this direction, it controlles all signals from the upper to the lower bus.

Additionally, the two displays on the cables shows the active channels of each controlled bus input.

Using the screwdriver from Project Red, the orientation of the gate can be changed freely in all four directions. With additional holding the crouch key you can switch the sides for the respective blocked direction.
