# Examples
Real-world Slang programs demonstrating common patterns.
## Temperature Control
Basic thermostat that controls an air conditioner based on room temperature:
```rust
device ac = "db";
device roomGasSensor = "d0";
const TARGET_TEMP = 22c;
const HYSTERESIS = 1;
loop {
yield();
let temp = roomGasSensor.Temperature;
if (temp > TARGET_TEMP + HYSTERESIS) {
ac.On = true;
} else if (temp < TARGET_TEMP - HYSTERESIS) {
ac.On = false;
}
}
```
**Note:** The IC10 chip is assumed to be inserted in the air conditioner's IC slot.

## Two-Axis Solar Panel Tracking
Handles two-axis solar panel tracking based on the sun's position:
```rust
device sensor = "d0";
const H_PANELS = hash("StructureSolarPanelDual");
loop {
setBatched(H_PANELS, "Horizontal", sensor.Horizontal);
setBatched(H_PANELS, "Vertical", sensor.Vertical + 90);
yield();
}
```
**Note:** Assumes the daylight sensor is mounted with its port looking 90
degrees east of the solar panel's data port, an offset can be added on the
horizontal angle if needed.
---
## Day/Night Lighting
Controls grow lights during the day and ambient lights at night:
```rust
device greenhouseSensor = "d0";
const daylightSensor = hash("StructureDaylightSensor");
const growLight = hash("StructureGrowLight");
const wallLight = hash("StructureLightLong");
loop {
yield();
let solarAngle = lb(daylightSensor, "SolarAngle", "Average");
let isDaylight = solarAngle < 90;
sb(growLight, "On", isDaylight);
sb(wallLight, "On", !isDaylight);
}
```
---
## Pressure Relief Valve
Controls a volume pump based on pressure readings for emergency pressure relief:
```rust
device volumePump = "d0";
device pipeSensor = "d1";
const MAX_PRESSURE = 10_000;
const R = 8.314;
loop {
yield();
let pressure = pipeSensor.Pressure;
if (pressure > MAX_PRESSURE) {
// Use PV=nRT to calculate the amount of mols we need to move
// n = PV / RT
let molsToMove = (pressure - MAX_PRESSURE) *
pipeSensor.Volume / (R * pipeSensor.Temperature);
// V = nRT / P
let setting = molsToMove * R * pipeSensor.Temperature / pressure;
volumePump.Setting = setting;
volumePump.On = true;
} else {
volumePump.On = false;
}
}
```
---
## Greenhouse Environment Controller
Complete greenhouse control with pressure, temperature, and lighting:
```rust
device self = "db";
device emergencyRelief = "d0";
device greenhouseSensor = "d1";
device recycleValve = "d2";
const MAX_INTERIOR_PRESSURE = 80;
const MAX_INTERIOR_TEMP = 28c;
const MIN_INTERIOR_PRESSURE = 75;
const MIN_INTERIOR_TEMP = 25c;
const daylightSensor = 1076425094;
const growLight = hash("StructureGrowLight");
const wallLight = hash("StructureLightLong");
const lightRound = hash("StructureLightRound");
let shouldPurge = false;
loop {
yield();
let interiorPress = greenhouseSensor.Pressure;
let interiorTemp = greenhouseSensor.Temperature;
shouldPurge = (
interiorPress > MAX_INTERIOR_PRESSURE ||
interiorTemp > MAX_INTERIOR_TEMP
) || shouldPurge;
emergencyRelief.On = shouldPurge;
recycleValve.On = !shouldPurge;
if (
shouldPurge && (
interiorPress < MIN_INTERIOR_PRESSURE &&
interiorTemp < MIN_INTERIOR_TEMP
)
) {
shouldPurge = false;
}
let solarAngle = lb(daylightSensor, "SolarAngle", "Average");
let isDaylight = solarAngle < 90;
sb(growLight, "On", isDaylight);
sb(wallLight, "On", !isDaylight);
sb(lightRound, "On", !isDaylight);
}
```

## Advanced Furnace Pressure Control
Automates multi-furnace pump control based on dial setting for pressure target:
```rust
const FURNACE1 = 1234;
const DIAL1 = 1123;
const ANALYZER1 = 1223;
const FURNACE2 = 1235;
const DIAL2 = 1124;
const ANALYZER2 = 1224;
const FURNACE3 = 1236;
const DIAL3 = 1124;
const ANALYZER3 = 1225;
const R = 8.314;
fn handleFurnace(furnace, dial, analyzer) {
let pressure = furnace.Pressure;
let targetPressure = max(dial.Setting, 0.1) * 1000;
if (abs(targetPressure - pressure) <= 0.1) {
furnace.On = false;
return;
}
let molsToMove = max(furnace.TotalMoles, 1) * (
(targetPressure / pressure) - 1
);
// V = nRT / P
if (molsToMove > 0) {
// Calculate volume required
if (analyzer.Pressure == 0) {
// No more gas to add
furnace.On = false;
return;
}
let volume = molsToMove * R * analyzer.Temperature / analyzer.Pressure;
furnace.On = true;
furnace.SettingOutput = 0;
furnace.SettingInput = volume;
return;
}
// Calculate volume required
let volume = (-molsToMove) * R * furnace.Temperature / pressure;
furnace.On = true;
furnace.SettingInput = 0;
furnace.SettingOutput = volume;
return;
}
loop {
yield();
handleFurnace(FURNACE1, DIAL1, ANALYZER1);
handleFurnace(FURNACE2, DIAL2, ANALYZER2);
handleFurnace(FURNACE3, DIAL3, ANALYZER3);
}
```
**Note:** This example does not handle edge cases such as insufficient gas in
the input network or overfilling the furnace/pipe network.

## Common Patterns
### Waiting for a Condition
```rust
fn waitForDeviceToTurnOff(device) {
while (device.On) {
yield();
}
}
```
