 1. If Mesecons is still in a ZIP file, extract the folder inside to somewhere on the computer.
 2. Make sure that when you open the folder, you can directly find `README.md` in the listing. If you just see another folder, move that folder up one level and delete the old one.

+The node detector is a receptor. It changes its state when either any node
+or a specific node is detected. Right-click it to set a nodename to scan for.
+It can also receive digiline signals. You can either send "GET" and it will
+respond with the detected nodename or you can send any other string and it will
+set this string as the node to scan for.
+Nodenames must include the mod they reside in, so for instance default:dirt, not just dirt.
+The distance parameter specifies how many blocks are between the node detector and the node to detect.
+Automatic scanning with Mesecons output only works when the detector is in an active block, but Digilines queries always work.
