Need a little help with automation

[SharraShimada]

I have some trouble with a little system. I want to refuel a rocket, when it returns.

So, pressure plate under the rocket, gives the active sgnal if the rocket is present.

This enables a liguid shutoff, pumping fuel.

After the fuel tanks there is a liquid pipe sensor. If this triggers, the system will know, the tanks are full, 

This should disable the liquid shutoff.

To this point, there is no problem.

But once the pipe is empty again, and the liquid pipe sensor switches back, the shutoff opens again, starting the fuel to flow. 

 

The Question is now, how to prevent the re-enable, until the pressure plate is disabled and enabled again?

I think you need memory toggle and AND gate.

I thought so, but i cant figure out how to connect them

Dispensing (refueling) system can be taken here: 

In the top left corner of the picture, there is a memcell, which S-port can receive an On/Off impulse via this ("button" is a pressure plate):

S - set (green blank input), R - reset (red input with rotating arrow).

may I see how you put the pressure plates?

I worried about falling debris when bunker door open for departing/arriving if I use it.

 

if I understand you right, here is my solution

There's a trick with memcells: like IRL, if both S and R signals present at the same time, R signal has priority.

Nevermind. It seems a pressure plate is no reliable source to determine if a rocket is present oi not. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not trigger at all.

what about an element sensor for steam or CO2?

Wont work in my setup. I flood the starting-tube with gaes, to help cooling via the pipe system. So i have a wild mix of nearly every gas in the launch bay.  Pressure wont work too. Germs are also not present... I´ll figure something out some day ^^

so there are really no reliable automation for rocket present?

There is currently no real "rocket is present" trigger. But it should be possible to make a automation gate, that flips from "is away" to "is at home"

would you show me how?

I already have the automation (my post above) to disable liquid shut-off using element sensor.

[SharraShimada]

I´ll take a look on it later. If everything works as intended, i´ll make a post.

I´m using a memory toggle with the rocketscanner on Set and the commmand capsule on Reset, to toggle refueling on/off. Works fine for me.

What about just using a dupe activated toggle switch to start the fueling and the element sensor to detect full and shut off?

Then you just have to send a dupe in one time after the rocket returns to start the process.

would mind show some picture, my rocket scanner and capsule command share same automation wires to open/close for departing/arriving, I don't know how to separate them.

To make this work, the astronaut needs to sit inside the rocket and a reachable target must have bin selected.

This is what I´m using in my current survival game
