@theoriginalbit: Since they were created.

I didn't think Eloraam had a 'strength' to it. I know it only lasted for 256 blocks, but I never knew there was a 'strength'

Did you know vanilla redstone had a strength, from 0 to 15?

Well then... This was my first bit of programming so I am surprised it had as few bugs in it as it did! I haven't even thought look at this thread in a month! I do know there are some bugs with getting the input from certain sides. For instance listening for input on the bottom from a bundled cable is supposed to return a 0 or 1 but returns some large number instead. To compensate in my program using the api I just looked for one of the two huge numbers it returns and assumed it ment 1 or 0. Seems to be a Computer craft bug since the exact same command returns a 1 or 0 on the other sides..

Why does it use 1 or 0 instead of true or false? Because I built a calculator in vanilla minecraft before and think in terms of 0's and 1's instead of trues or falses XD


Oh... now i realize that huge number was all the other inputs and outputs I had on the bottom at the time... DERP!

Glad I am more experienced with this now!

Hi,

I have also been experiencing problems with reading individual input colours. Through experimenting I found it will return the total summed value of all the inputs not the individual line. 1 or 0

I believe the problem is on line 206 of the API. You are using

redstone.getBundledInput(string side)

If you were to use

redstone.testBundledInput(string side, int color value)

Instead you will get the actual on or off of an individual line.. worked for me

Tks

Great tip! In one fell swoop you probably squashed the majority of problems people were having! TYVM!

Now version 1.2!
