public interface Electronics
extends Item, Technical

Electronics are items that can be turned on and off before their interesting behavior or ability is available, which requires "power" to be operated, and has some capacitance for power that keeps it running for some dramatic amount of time while it is no longer receiving new power. Electronics have manufacturers who make them, and can be of many different sorts.

Method Detail

powerCapacity

long powerCapacity()

Gets the maximum amount of capacitance supported by this electrical item. This is the maximum power the item can store up and utilize before it shuts off. Only the item itself knows how much it wants to use at any particular time.

Returns:

the maximum amount of stored power capacity

See Also:

setPowerCapacity(long)

setPowerCapacity

void setPowerCapacity(long capacity)

Sets the maximum amount of capacitance supported by this electrical item. This is the maximum power the item can store up and utilize before it shuts off. Only the item itself knows how much it wants to use at any particular time.

Parameters:

capacity - the maximum amount of stored power capacity

See Also:

powerCapacity()

powerRemaining

long powerRemaining()

Gets the amount of power capacitance remaining in this electrical item. The item will continue to use this power until it doesn't have enough to operate, and then turn off.

Returns:

the amount of power capacitance remaining

See Also:

setPowerRemaining(long)

setPowerRemaining

void setPowerRemaining(long remaining)

Sets the amount of power capacitance remaining in this electrical item. The item will continue to use this power until it doesn't have enough to operate, and then turn off.

Parameters:

remaining - the amount of power capacitance remaining

See Also:

powerRemaining()

powerNeeds

int powerNeeds()

Returns the immediate power needs of this electrical item. Typically powerCapacity - powerAvailable

Returns:

the amount of power this item can still absorb

See Also:

powerRemaining(), powerCapacity()

activated

boolean activated()

Gets whether this electrical item is "turned on". An activated item can do the stuff it is supposed to, but off it cannot.

Returns:

whether this electrical item is "turned on"

See Also:

activate(boolean)

activate

void activate(boolean truefalse)

Sets whether this electrical item is "turned on". An activated item can do the stuff it is supposed to, but off it cannot.

Parameters:

truefalse - true to activate, false to deactivate

See Also:

activated()

getManufacturerName

java.lang.String getManufacturerName()

Gets the Manufacturer ID/Name that made this electrical item. This is important because benefits and detriments can come along with the manufacturer.

Returns:

the Manufacturer ID/Name that made this

See Also:

setManufacturerName(String), Manufacturer

setManufacturerName

void setManufacturerName(java.lang.String name)

Sets the Manufacturer ID/Name that made this electrical item. This is important because benefits and detriments can come along with the manufacturer.

Parameters:

name - the Manufacturer ID/Name that made this

See Also:

getManufacturerName(), getFinalManufacturer(), Manufacturer

getFinalManufacturer

Manufacturer getFinalManufacturer()

Returns the Manufacturer object of the manufacturer that made this electrical item. This is important because benefits and detriments can come along with the manufacturer.

Returns:

the Manufacturer that made this electrical item

See Also:

getManufacturerName(), setManufacturerName(String), Manufacturer
