Here are my programs. That is all.

RedstoneX

I've made a useful api for more redstone things. It is called redstoneX.

Functions:

Spoiler

redstoneX.version() - returns version
usage: none

redstoneX.listen(side, timeout, sensitivity) - allows one to listen for a redstone signal
usage:

Spoiler

side - what side to listen on (string)

timeout - how long to wait. 0 is indefinite. If it times out, it returns false

sensitivity - how often it checks for a signal. basically, set it at some value less than the amount of time the redstone will be activated. For a button, 1 should suffice. The higher the sensitivity, the quicker the response, but the higher the cpu load.

example:

Spoiler

redstoneX.listen("left", 60, 1) --listen for 60 seconds on the left side, with a sensitivity of 1

redstoneX.flash(side, timeout) - flash a signal
Usage:

Spoiler

side - which side is flashed (string)

timeout - how long to flash

example:

Spoiler

redstoneX.flash("left", 5) --flash the left side for 5 seconds

redstoneX.strobe(side, freq, timeout) - strobe a signal for a certain amount of time at a certain frequency
Usage:

Spoiler

side - Which side to strobe (string).

freq - How often to turn the signal on and off

timeout - How long to strobe

Example:

Spoiler

redstoneX.strobe("left",0.4,6) --toggle every 0.4 seconds for 6 seconds

redstoneX.sequence(side, freqs)
Usage:

Spoiler

side - side to sequence (string)

freqs - sequencing array. See example.

Example:

Spoiler

redstoneX.sequence("left", {2,0.5,1}) --turn left side on for 2 seconds, off for 0.5 seconds, on for 1 second, then off.

Code:

Spoiler

function version()
return 0.01
end
function listen(side, timeout, sensitivity)
if timeout == 0 then
  while true do
   if redstone.getInput(side) then
	break
   end
   sleep(0.2)
  end
else
  time=timeout/sensitivity
  for i=1,time do
   sleep(0.2)
   if redstone.getInput(side) then
	return true
   end
  end
  return false
end
end
function flash(side, timeout)
redstone.setOutput(side, true)
sleep(timeout)
redstone.setOutput(side, false)
end
function strobe(side, freq, timeout)
time = timeout/freq/2
for i=1,time do
  redstone.setOutput(side, true)
  sleep(freq)
  redstone.setOutput(side, false)
  sleep(freq)
end
end
function sequence(side, freqs)
freqsnum = # freqs
for i = 1, freqsnum do
  freqsmod = i%2
  if freqsmod == 1 then
   redstone.setOutput(side, true)
   sleep(freqs[i])
  else
   redstone.setOutput(side, false)
   sleep(freqs[i])
  end
end
redstone.setOutput(side,false)
end
