The Control Unit Addon adds advanced redstone integration to your
setup.
It allows machines to communicate their status to redstone circuits
and enables remote manual control.

Applicable to all machines. Note that the enderic laser and the portable energy storage already enable redstone
input control by themselves.

**Configuration**

Right-clicking the addon opens a configuration menu where you can set
the following:
- **Input Control**: Allows you to disable the machine by providing a
redstone signal to the addon.
- **Output Measure**: A comparator attached to the addon can output a
signal based on energy storage, inventory contents, or recipe progress.
