# CC Synaxis Connector

CC Synaxis Connector is a NeoForge compatibility mod for connecting
[CC: Tweaked](https://tweaked.cc/) computers with Synaxis Cimulink plant ports.

It adds bridge-style circuit boards that let Lua programs, Synaxis circuits, and
CSV logging workflows exchange values without requiring custom scripts on both
sides of every connection.

## Highlights

- Connect CC: Tweaked peripherals and Synaxis Cimulink ports.
- Expose named one-way real/boolean bridge signals.
- Use a Super Hub board to wrap adjacent CC peripherals and Synaxis plant values.
- Read selected Synaxis values from CC Lua through a single peripheral.
- Write CC getter/setter-style peripheral methods into Synaxis ports.
- Record Synaxis signals to CSV files with an in-game table editor.
- Supports both English and Simplified Chinese UI text.

## Requirements

This mod is not standalone. Install it together with CC: Tweaked, Synaxis, and
the dependencies required by Synaxis.

Tested target:

- Minecraft `1.21.1`
- NeoForge `21.1.226+`
- CC: Tweaked `1.118.0+`
- Synaxis `1.3.4+`
- Sable `1.1.3+`
- Sable Schematic API `0.2.6+`
- LDLib2 `2.2.17+`
- Create `6.0.10+`
- Flywheel `1.0.6+`

The generated jar does not include CC: Tweaked, Synaxis, Sable, Create, or their
assets. You must obtain those mods from their official distribution channels.

## Blocks

### CC: Synaxis Bridge

The Bridge is a small Cimulink-style board for manually created one-way signal
channels.

Each bridge channel has:

- a unique name, such as `bridge_1`
- a type: `real` or `boolean`
- a direction: `cc_to_synaxis` or `synaxis_to_cc`
- an optional "save last value" setting for missing Synaxis input

Use the block UI to create and remove bridge channels. Use Synaxis wiring tools
to connect the generated ports. CC computers can access the block as a peripheral
named `cc_synaxis_bridge`.

### CC: Synaxis Super Hub

The Super Hub is a board for wrapping nearby devices into ports for the other
side of the bridge.

It has two UI pages:

- **Providing to Synaxis**: select wrapped CC or Synaxis capabilities and expose
  them as Synaxis Cimulink ports.
- **Providing to CC**: select wrapped CC or Synaxis capabilities and expose them
  through the Super Hub CC peripheral.

For CC peripherals, getter-like methods such as `getSpeed()`, `isRunning()`, or
`hasFuel()` are treated as readable values. Setter-like methods such as
`setSpeed(value)` become writable inputs where possible.

For Synaxis, the hub reads available plant values through Synaxis bus/plant-port
style access and presents compatible values to CC or to Synaxis ports.

### Log Output Assistant

The Log Output Assistant is a Synaxis input board that writes signal values to
CSV.

It supports up to 10 columns. Each column creates one Synaxis input port and can
be configured as `real` or `boolean`. Empty, never-activated inputs are written
as `null` unless empty rows are skipped.

Main options:

- log name / output file
- row id: tick, row number, or none
- write mode: every tick, on value change, or every N ticks
- create mode: immediately, on any input, or on one selected input
- skip or write fully empty rows
- import existing CSV files from the safe output folder

CSV files are written inside the current save under:

```text
ccsconnector_outputs/
```

On servers, file selection is intentionally limited to this output folder. The
client import flow also only scans the client's own `ccsconnector_outputs`
folder and uploads the selected CSV content to the server.

## Basic Usage

1. Place one of the connector boards.
2. Empty-hand right-click the board to open its UI.
3. Configure the bridge, hub, or log columns you want.
4. Use Synaxis wiring tools to connect the visible ports.
5. Attach or place a CC computer next to the block when CC access is needed.
6. Use Lua peripheral calls to read or write the configured values.

## CC Lua API

### Bridge Peripheral

Peripheral type:

```lua
cc_synaxis_bridge
```

Methods:

```lua
list()
schema()
info(name)
addBridge([name], type, direction)
removeBridge(name)
get(name)
set(name, value)
lastWriteTick(name)
getSaveLastValue(name)
setSaveLastValue(name, enabled)
toggleSaveLastValue(name)
```

Example:

```lua
local bridge = peripheral.find("cc_synaxis_bridge")
assert(bridge, "Bridge not found")

bridge.addBridge("target_speed", "real", "cc_to_synaxis")

local value = 0
while true do
  bridge.set("target_speed", value)
  value = value + 1
  sleep(1)
end
```

### Super Hub Peripheral

Peripheral type:

```lua
cc_synaxis_super_hub
```

Methods:

```lua
list()
schema()
get(name)
getAll()
refresh()
lastUpdateTick(name)

listSynaxis()
getSynaxis(name)
getAllSynaxis()
synaxisLastUpdateTick(name)

listCcCandidates()
listExposedCc()
getCc(name)
getAllCc()

expose(...)
toggleExpose(...)
set(name, value)
write(name, value)
listProvidedToSynaxis()
```

Exposure is configured in the Super Hub UI. Lua can read configured values and
write to configured writable entries, but it does not create UI exposure rows.
The `expose` and `toggleExpose` entries are reserved compatibility methods and
will direct players to configure exposure in the UI.

Example:

```lua
local hub = peripheral.find("cc_synaxis_super_hub")
assert(hub, "Super Hub not found")

hub.refresh()

for name, value in pairs(hub.getAll()) do
  print(name, value)
end
```

## Notes And Limitations

- Synaxis-facing ports currently support `real` and `boolean` values.
- Text/string values are not exposed as Synaxis ports unless Synaxis provides a
  compatible signal type.
- Not every CC peripheral method can be safely called without arguments. The
  Super Hub focuses on simple getter/setter-style methods.
- CC and Synaxis may update at different rates. Connector blocks cache values so
  either side can read at its own timing.
- Configure Synaxis wires with the normal Synaxis tools. Empty-hand right-click
  opens connector UIs.

## Development Notes

Most dependencies are resolved from Maven by Gradle. The local `libs/` directory
is only for dependencies that are not currently resolved from a public Maven in
this project:

- `synaxis-1.3.4.jar`
- `sable-schematic-api-0.2.6.jar`

`libs/*.jar` is ignored by Git, so dependency jars should not be committed.

Compatibility fallback for CC:T generic peripherals is isolated in
`CcTweakedInternals` to keep non-public CC:T access easy to audit or remove if
upstream APIs change.

Synaxis plant access goes through registered `PlantEndpointProvider` ports and
`PlantPortProviders.tryCreate`.
