1-- What we want to achieve
2
3--  We need an elevator system with a few things
4--     - Normal up and down elevator controls on ele
5--     - Call feature
6
7-- To get the normal up and down feature, we use an alalog lever.
8--   The alalog lever emits a signal strength as shown on the tube above (0-15?)
9--   The signal will then be our "goto" floor represented by an int
10--   Adjacent to the analog lever is a button. Upon pressing the button, the actual "move" signal will be sent.
11--   Upon "move" being sent, the elevator will find the direction by comparing the "current" floor to the "goto" floor.
12--   After the direction is found, the elevator will move to this position until a signal(emitted wirelessly from a modem), which contains the "current", and the "goto" floor are the same.
13--   When the disired floor is reached, a clutch will be activated stopping the system.
14--                                          (The system must always be in idle!)

20-- We'll need a way to set data
21--  setting data and reading data
22--  for this we'll use fs and store data in files
23
24function setData()
25    -- check if a "data" file exists, if not, create one
26    while fs.exists("data") ~= true do
27        -- set background color to green to show that we're in the data collection process
28        term.setBackgroundColor(8192)
29
30        -- opening file as write; data is stored here
31        local file = fs.open("data", "w")
32
33        -- collect elevator data
34        term.write("Number of Floors: ")
35        floors = tonumber(read())
36
37        term.write("Current Floor: ")
38        currentFloor = tonumber(read())
39
40        -- compile data into table
41        local elevatorData = {floors, currentFloor}
42        term.write("Final Data = " .. elevatorData)
43
44        -- write data to file which can be called later.
45        file.write(elevatorData)
46        file.close()
