Technic Power Network Regulator

The power network regulator script manages a Technic supply converter to convert power from one voltage to another without wasting power. The regulator script monitors the charge level of a set of battery boxes on the output network and controls a supply converter. The supply converter is turned on when the battery charge level gets low, to keep the network running, and turned off when the battery charge level gets high, to avoid wasting power on the input network by running the supply converter when not needed.

Configuration

The battery_boxes string is the name of the Digiline channel on which all the battery boxes are listening.

The supply_converter string is the name of the Digiline channel on which the supply converter is listening.

The min_charge integer is the percentage (from 0 to 100) at which the supply converter should turn on.

The max_charge integer is the percentage (from 0 to 100) at which the supply converter should turn off.
