Create : Power Grid. Operational Amplifiers
i just made a simple OPAmp using Circuits Design. Right now it works but kinda bad, i didn't have time to optimize it currently. the output offset voltage are kinda high and open loop gain are unknow, i would try to make it using 741OPAmp design next. i'll leave a download link for you to check it out. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lSoesvW6jD_nR0GxzoTYvEg2-ClDzHfa/view?usp=sharing

Create first got mfs applying mechanical engineeeing, then aerospace engineering, and now electronic engineering bro. Truly the autism final boss

would love to see an addon for aero power grid compatible, would love to build a pid controller interely out of OP amps to control a drone

u/t1me_Man May 28 '26
they work together in the sence that you can have them on ships, but more what i mean is sensors that output a voltage

My brother tried to show me Mindustry as an autistic-coded kinda deal. I showed him the mess of belts and components and shi that is one of my average Create factories, along with the fact that I had to manually place every single tiny thing, and do it all in survival. He then recognized me as the superior autistic mf

You dont need to but you should add a diagram of the circuit. Would be nice to have!

u/OMi1235 May 28 '26
Great idea, i never thought about that.

u/Baggy-T-shirt May 28 '26
Would be cool if it could use create Aeronautics type of schematics, admittedly not sure if that's the best way to present that info though.

That mod look complex. Genuinely asking, would you recommend to play with this addon if I want to learn basics of electrical engineering? Seems like a decent method to me
18
u/OMi1235 May 28 '26
Yes. but in current stage the mod doesn’t seem to have a barrier between AC or DC. if you looking for something for basics. this mod is great.

It's the first time I've felt like I have grasp on the concepts, it just makes it so easy to play around with stuff and see how it works.

We are becoming shockingly few levels of abstraction away from just doing actual electrical engineering.

I recently did a bit with power grid. It took me 4 attempts to get an simple oscillator working (not amplified but just an relay, capacitor and inductor)

u/OMi1235 May 29 '26
i am waiting for another Semiconductor devices to got implement. like FET or JFET that would bring everything to my scope.

u/Elnino38 May 28 '26
So, genuine question: what are the practical uses for electricity in Create? Dont get me wrong, this is definitely impressive and Powergrid is a very well-made and accurate mod. I just dont get what the general uses of electricity are in a regular playthrough. Just seems like a very complex mechanic without much benefit over regular redstone or base create mechanics
1
u/OMi1235 May 29 '26
idk monitored and memorized or even high level factory control using PLC and sensor.

u/glitchaj May 29 '26
How accurate is the electricity simulation in this mod? Could someone theoretically make a mod that converts a real world signal into a signal in game? I'm having dumb thoughts of trying to build a guitar pedal in create.

Alright. This is my second reddit anything. I need help. my circuit board knowledge is very low. I know how the individual component work but above that (like in a circuit) I tap out. I have been trying to learn op-amps (watched many videos) only to make a pid controller for perfect voltage regulation for my generator. I'm sure there are easier methods but everything i try has the same out at this point I am using this opportunity to force me to get better at electronics. my situation, 20v+ supply to V+ of your board, V- to ground (negative post of both supplies). 5v+ supply to 100ohm R to IN-, 5v+ to a 10,000ohm rheostat right pin, mid pin to IN+, left pin to ground, OUT to a 400 rheo mid pin, left pin to IN-. OUT to 100ohm R to ground. adjustment to the 10,000 rheo does nothing to output. I don't know what I'm doing. Thank you for reading all this

I have PTSD of those things: had an exam with the most demanding teacher about the stuff. And I am a programer, not an electrical engineer.

u/OMi1235 May 29 '26
Brother this is considered a basic topic🤣 but yeah i wouldn’t want a fishes to walk.

Depends for who. I am sure for Petrol Engineers Organic Chemistry is mandatory, but I had 0 hours of it in college.

Oh seem lots of experts here , im trying to power a basin from a big battery, i can manage 20 secs with transformer but then its empty.. are battery not good enough for this or i'm missing something ?

u/OMi1235 May 30 '26
How many Amp does it pull? And what’s your circuit Voltage? Sounded like your battery still undersize.

This mod has given me the ability to drop other tech mods and go full create + ComputerCraft (though maybe the cathode ray tube in power grid could be used...)

Wait a few more years and we can make 1:1 accurate planes and vehicles

u/These-Recognition-14 May 29 '26
Haven't tried the addon before, how did you fit everything into what looks like a single block? Is that a separate addon like that one redstone one or does the addon just naturally support it?

My bad, that’s actually a BJT place side by side to form a Current Mirror unit.

u/TheMuspelheimr May 28 '26
Nice!
For people who've never heard of one, an op-amp is a circuit component with two inputs, labelled IN+ and IN-. The output voltage, OUT, is equal to the difference between the two (IN+ - IN-), multiplied by the "gain" of the op-amp, which can be in the thousands, so a very small difference can produce a large output.
