Welcome to the NIDAS documentation!

NIDAS, Networked Information Display & Automation Software, is an OpenComputers software package that allows the monitoring and automation of machines. NIDAS is built to be easy to use for the end user, which is achieved using a graphical user interface, requiring no knowledge of Lua or modifying the code in any way.

NIDAS displays information on traditional OpenComputers screens, and on a players HUD, thorugh OpenGlasses. It supports custom colors, most monitor resolutions, and is lightweight on the server.

Non-exhaustive feature list:

• Power Level Monitoring (LSC, PSS, Battery Buffer)
• Redstone Control depending on power level
• Machine Monitoring, with on-HUD maintenance notification, alerts, and progress displays
• Fluid level monitoring
• AE2 Autostocker
• Automated infusion

Technical features:

• Distributed architecture: main-local architecture allows attaching hundreds of machines from local servers to one main server. This allows for centralizing the information displayed on the HUD
• Modular design: NIDAS can run only the modules you need on a computer
• Automatic update script
• Automatic reboots: Resilient against laggy servers which might cause OpenComputers to crash
• Fully shader-compatible!

For detailed descriptions of different modules and installation instructions, see their respective pages.
