Nuclear reactor interface (controller)

Nuclear reactor interface (microcontroller)
Disclaimer: This microcontroller does not control the insertion of fuel rods or position of control rods!
Since the Nuclear update came out, I decided to make a simple interface to view your nuclear reactor simply.

Microcontroller size: 5×6

Features
- Visual indicator of which fuel rod is inserted
- Temperature graph
- Radiation graphs
- Power generated graph
- Two choices for graph grid colors
- Customised graph lines (color)
- Warnings
- SCRAM
- Blinking red light when reactor is close to a meltdown
- Several things you can customise to your needs

Please read this thoroughly
If you would like to skip the less important details, skip straight to step 10
Step 1: Place the microcontroller anywhere in your creation.
Step 2: Place a 5×3 monitor.

Step3: Connect composite and video signal to the monitor.
Step 4: Connect the “water radiation” node to a radiation sensor inside your nuclear reactor.
Step 5: Connect the “environment radiation” node to a radiation sensor outside of your nuclear reactor, preferably in the cockpit, helm etc of the creation.
Step 6: Connect “generator/rps from turbine output” to your generator output, or a torque meter.
Step 7: Connect the “fuel rods eject” to all your nuclear fuel assemblies. If you have another node connected to it already, use the “or” logic block to connect both nodes up.
Step 8: Connect the “control rods position” to all your control rods. If you have another node connected to it already, use the “add” logic block to connect both nodes up.
Step 9(optional): Connect the "flashing light(s)" to a (preferably red) light that you want to blink when the reactor is close to a meltdown. Multiple lights can be connected.
Step 10: This is the most important and difficult step.

There are a total of 20 nodes that have not been connected. You need to connect these nodes up to your nuclear fuel assembly “fuel rod temperature” node. Depending on your nuclear reactor, you do not need to connect all of them up.
The top left node is 1, and the bottom left is 20. Imagine each node as a nuclear fuel assembly. Each node that is connected will be specific for each nuclear fuel assembly.
The example below show how to connect your nuclear fuel assemblies up.

Basically, you should always start with the “1” node, and connect it according to your reactor. Go in the sequence which you would like to see your nuclear rods insert on the screen, and never skip a number (unless it is a control rod)
Tip: If your reactor is bigger than 4×5, you can always just not connect some of the nuclear fuel assemblies.

Note:
Wait 30 seconds after pressing SCRAM to disable SCRAM
Please notify me of any bugs or problems that you encounter. Thanks!

It would be very nice of you to credit me if you used this in your creation c;
