For anyone having trouble with the GUI not working, check the logs in the PB "Programmable Block - Mining Computer SCAM" and the "edit and images" panel. Check the [Edit text] for the log. It will say what Panel is being activated for the GUI, so if you attach this to a base, it might pick a screen on your base. It looks for any panel with [LCD Panel] in the name, and by default, the panel in this BP is named 'Wide LDC panel'. Simply go through your base and rename anything that has 'LCD Panel' in the name, then recompile the script, making sure to leave this panel's wide lcd panel with LCD Panel in it's name.
You can also use any lcd panel you want, in the add-panel line in the customdata of the miner programmable block. Look at the SCAM script guide for better details

Hi @Luvrneticus try entering the control seat and moving your mouse, the main display should activate

Hmmm I'm not sure what happened but it seems like the default setup no longer works?
The primary screen is black now when I paste in creative even when scripts are turned on.

Is there a version of this just as the scripts or small grid brain I could assemble instead? I wanna use this in one of my games but put it in my server room and not go through the whole process of building this just to copy, paste, and scrap it once I get everything put together.

These are so amazing!! Was so easy to do!! Thank you!

Hi @IronEagle144, no mods required, only enabled in-game scripts. :)

DOes this require any mods?

Hi Kevin, try checking if in-game scripts are enabled in your world settings

so when i spawn this all screens are blank, i click on the show screen and its blank. is it supposed to be? if i type A then ok it shows A? but i follow the video for auto miner and this i cant seem to get working

where do i put the command to take control it

Hi @MARENSKHAOS you can find it here: https://youtu.be/aQdWh48q4Tg

Is there a video tutorial on how to integrate the dispatcher programing into an existing vehicle I have? I've seen demonstrations of rovers and ships using it, I'm just at a loss how to set up as needed.

Hey @Fighter here's the SCAM script page: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2572154209
Over there you can find a full description of the script, argument reference guide, and multiple examples of how to setup your own drone.
If you still have any questions you can join my discord over here: https://discord.gg/9QjfSewsZY
and get some additional info :)

Hi pro100tv. I like your drone concept, therefore I tried to build the my own drones based on your drones (copy the content). For example with other thrusters and other storage. I also tried scam versions, but had also issues. You said in your video, that I could use my own drones, but i do not found a guide/how to. Could you please help me?

so found a part of the problem, if you have any other lcd panels attached to you grid with 'lcd panel' in the name it will start throwing the screens there, even if you change the lcdpanel name you are using AND the name in the custom data. the drone screen was on a panel on the back of my base and the selectiion screen still isint there at all.

so i have this in a survival world, i printed the parts fromt he basic dispatcher. into my base, so i have all the parts, but the bottom 2 lcd's arent working at all, tried renaming recompiling. i even enabled godmode and pasted in the basic dispatcher that works fine. but just nor on my base.

has anyone made a video on how to set this up?

I have a question about this, the screen to the left of the wide that has the menu commands what do i do to reactivate it? one of my drones hit another drone and destroyed the monitors and I can't get the menu one to come back the other 2 are fine?

Also note to the dev, the check code has a few errors not sure if they are important but just wanted to let you know (so far it seems to be working though)

Ok incase anyone else is trying to use this pay close attention to the instructions on the auto miner ... build them "park" them and then compile the one on this station then move one to a dig location and start dig and get out of the way they will 1 by 1 go to that location and dig

I have this all built, i can fly one out and they all goto work however i cannot access the
bottom left screen the menu screen is blank while sitting in seat. so i cannot change the drone settings before starting job.
it seems the "graphical interface block" is not communicating with the "operating system LCD"

I saw you said somthing about a "cc" argument what is that

Update: I was able to get the miner to start mining my putting a seat on it and flying it to mining location and giving it a manual command to start a task so that's working pretty well. I still can get my left display to show the miner status and the miner refuses to unload to the dispatcher. Since I have it connected to my station grid, it wants to unload to a cargo container that I don't have conveyered (ice storage). Is there a way to force the miner to unload to the dispatcher? The large cargo containers are mostly empty. Thanks for any assistance.

Hi. Hoping I can get some help debugging my setup. I've projected & printed the basic dispatcher and an XU-3 into my survival game. Both are running version 0.9.68 of the script. I towed and docked the miner to the dispatcher: fuel is present and the batteries are on auto. I can remote into the XU-3 but the dispatcher is not registering the miner. The miner is reporting "miner state=disabled" in the PB log. When sitting in the control seat, I can't exit interactive mode. Also the left screen of the dispatcher never displays anything. It seems like the dispatcher is just not seeing the miner despite it being docked in one of the 3 connectors. I've looked at the documentation and the videos but I have no clue how to "reset" the miner so the dispatcher sees it. I've verified that the antennas are working. The recall and other commands update the log display but doesn't fix the issue. The main blue screen displays "no active task" on them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi MIQL, in Custom Data of "Programmable Block - Mining Computer SCAM" change the following line:
command:add-panel:LCD Panel

Instead of "LCD Panel" put some unique name, and then rename the LCD you want the script to be casted on to the same name, and recompile the "Programmable Block - Mining Computer SCAM".

For example:
command:add-panel:LCD Panel -> command:add-panel:Mining_LCD

and rename the "Wide LCD Panel" to "Mining_LCD" -> recompile

Hope that helps

Hi there, love your work :))

Ive been messing around with your tutorials trying to replicate it but sadly I've encountered few issues trying to set the basic dispatcher onto my base. Mainly the issue is with the LCD screens not working properly. If the dispatcher isnt connected to any other grid it works just fine but having it connected to my base causes the "Wide LCD Screen" to appear onto another lcd screen somewhere in my base. Simple, go back and change the names of the already existing screens so there is no miss match. Done, but then the dispatchers screen doesnt come up, Ive recompiled the PBs, the menu screen and dis-panel comes back but not the "Wide LCD Screen" with the map.
Ive tried replicating everything ive seen in your tutorials. Literally coping the info from one dispatcher to another and yet this LCD screen does not want to work. Please help, I feel like I've tried everything and its probably something small and stupid.

thanks in advance, keep up the good work :)

Try checking if the in-game scripts are enabled in your world. If they are then get into the control seat of the dispatcher and use the mouse input. The main screen should get online as soon as you do

Is there a list of requirements for this? I've run "cc", but my Wide LCD is black and showing nothing. I've also never seen a LCD that can be controlled with a mouse, which makes me think I'm missing a mod...

its lovely when I get it to work but I meet with a problem when using the xu-3 autominer. runs out of hydrogen and I cant see a way to refuel it. would it work the same if I just replaced the hydrogen thrusters with atmospheric ? Im extremely new to this so I am most ly floundering around figureing things out. havent even really been to space yet just still figuring out the ground game.

Thank you for this. it works well for me. i do have one question about deep ore. i cannot get it to drill down deeper than 50 feet reliably. I have changed it in the menus and in the programmable block. recompiled. any thoughts on how to change it.

can the drones fly into a hanger and be self aware of their surrounding

Hey, I'm not 100% sure but I think the colors are hardcoded. You can try to ask the author of the script over here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2572154209

Good afternoon! Please tell me how to change the color of the text, background, button background on the Wide LCD Panel

Could you post the carrier you used int he video? It is no longer available on the workshop but ti fits so well with the drones!

Hey @Magic420 when you run the graphical interface PB with the argument cc it will allow you to select items from the menu using your mouse input and E + Q to select and go back accordingly.
You can find more documentation about the script itself over here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2572154209/4263206669447526543/

i do have the skills to go into the code and see why things are not working.. but im lazy, why do your job for you. wish there was more documentation here for this.. as it has potential to be a good build..

just tried this in survival, projected with a projector, battery and landing gear. projected it fine, built it with a weld ship and lots of parts, had no problems constructing it. running it is a problem. button bar only has 1 button, which is graphical interface run cc, i see the menu on the left display, but its hardly functional. after reading above, added the programming block run's with up, down, enter, and esc. ok, i can move around in the menu, but only behavior works, and even then, only minimum battery charge is the only one i can select. the other options are non operational. so i dont know. i also cant even get your miner to do anything unless i'm controlling it with remote.. but its range is limited, and being that i'm in space, well, space is large afterall. anyways.. hope you get this working, as i would love to use it.. but until then.. its getting chopped up back into parts.. thanks

I have done this, however, the Wide LCD seems to only work if it is the only available LCD. If you recompile the script with other LCDs on the grid, it will go to a random one. I think the only thing I haven’t been able to use is the commands on the Wide LCD itself. The menu commands work but the options/buttons on the Wide LCD display don’t seem to actually trigger, at least as much as I’ve tried so far.

Simply change the names of the new LCDs to match those from the Basic Dispatcher and recompile the programmable blocks

How do you get the menus and info to show up on LCD's? I broke the LCD's on the disbatcher blueprint and cannot get them to show up on new LCD's. Figured it would be good to find out in order to build a custom disbatcher.

No, just level the dispatcher with the mining shaft entry point

So I need to mine on the flattest ground I can find?

Make sure that the dispatcher is aligned perpendicular to the mining shaft, otherwise drones may (and probably will) collide at some point

I have them enabled, but all they do is seem to fall over or crash into one another.

Are in-game scripts enabled in your world settings?

does not seem to work, I have everything subscirbed needed :/

Unfortunately I'm unable to get them to work, unless it's flat ground where the pickup spot is other than that they just crash continuously.

Does anyone know if this is still working? I got a single mine (mostly) working but when I added all 3 I can only control one of them and the other 2 don't do anything. Also the left hand screen is displaying the wrong info. Any advice would be appreciated.

Have any small grid version? the LCD are so big.

I have no Clue how to use this, I put it in creative with a Couple Drilling XU Drones and have hit the button and Nothing happens. When will you get that Video or better walk threw for this.

It does
