Bug: Power converter outputs a signal even if nothing is activating it.
I connected a power converter to an engine with the intention of controlling it with some wasd logic. The engine immediately started running. If I connect a button to the power converter the engine stops. Ok so I thought the wasd converters were like switches, but when I connected a wasd converter the the power converter the engine still ran while I pressed nothing. So it really looks like the issue is the power converter, and maybe even the wasd converters, output signals even when they are not activated. Is that right or am I missing something?

Think of it as no key press = no power converter interaction therefore engine runs at whatever it's slider is at until a power converter is brought into the circuit.
Liddy checks it out here..

I think a khan piston control and sensors to control the switching of the individual power converters might be an expensive but viable idea but as for a reverse function I'm unsure, unless the power converters go into minus numbers.?

Thanks for the video. There is too little information about crashlander features out there. I wasn't able to find anything.

I did already figure out how to make my tank steering work. I needed regular logic gates to turn the wasd converter signals into pure signals and a button connected to the last power converter, (that is never used), to stop the engine moving when I'm not pressing anything. It seems overly complex but I think I can eventually get it to work the way I want.

My final tank logic looked like this.
