can u explain this a littble bit ? xd

I mean you can send binary data with just a On or Off state and a clock pulse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SerDes But to be fair you would be better off doing it the other way I described. Send out a signal from your base asking a specific station to reply.

SerDes

A Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) is a pair of functional blocks commonly used in high speed communications to compensate for limited input/output. These blocks convert data between serial data and parallel interfaces in each direction. The term "SerDes" generically refers to interfaces used in various technologies and applications. The primary...

yeah i wrote down this first idea u came with

If you really do want to do it this way you would need to decode each letter to a number probably using ascii then bit bang that with a variable for 0 or 1 and a clock so it would be serialized in bit banged then deserialized and decoded into the letter again.

Bit banging

In computer engineering and electrical engineering, bit banging or bit bashing is a term of art for any method of data transmission that employs software as a substitute for dedicated hardware to generate transmitted signals or process received signals. Such software directly sets and samples the states of GPIOs (e.g., pins on a microcontroller)...

ASCII

ASCII ( ASS-kee),: 6  an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard for electronic communication. ASCII codes represent text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices. ASCII has just 128 code points, of which only 95 are printable characters, which severely limit its scop...

yeah i see there are a lot of workaroudns. I was just curious am i missing something obvious, but i guess im not. Devs want me to use low level tools, which is fine,

I don't think its intended to be an entire programing language. Its more meant to be industrial automation. More of a "If this then that" But it can be used to do a lot more than that ofc.

i also come up with another kind of solution.
station A emit iron
station B emit iron x1000
station C emit iron x 1000 x 1000

and then i have value like
for A - 1 b 2, c -999 i would have
999x1000x1000 + 2*1000 + 1 = 999002001
one number tells me 3 station values

#

however game have limits for values, but i guess with normalization its viable

pale coral
#

That works you could also potentially use primes sort of like that.

#

primes like 1 3 5 7 11, these primes ?

is it some rule ? can u link to wiki ? xd

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_factorization

Prime factorization

Prime factorization of any given number is to breakdown the number into its factors until all of its factors are prime numbers. This can be achieved by dividing the given number from smallest prime number and continue it until all its factors are prime.
Example: Prime factorization of number 1729
You should see if the number is divisible by smal...

im too stupid for this

#

my brain is limited to simple no math involved programming

#

its intresting challenge tho

pale coral

It does not help I'm not explain it well sorry. I'm not that good at math.
