Hello
I need help writing a script...
These are the things i'm using. Lamp, Insulated Wire, Bundled Cable, Advanced Computer, Advanced Monitor.

Here is the example code I got from a post.

--test
while true do
m = peripheral.wrap("top")
m.clear()
m.setCursorPos(1,1)
m.write("-----Welcome to the station-----")
m.setCursorPos(1,3)
m.write("Blue Line: ")
m.setCursorPos(1,4)
m.write("Yellow Line: ")
m.setCursorPos(1,5)
m.write("Red Line: ")

m.setCursorPos(15,3)
if redstone.getInput("left") then
  m.write("Arrived")
else
  m.write("Away")
end

m.setCursorPos(15,4)
if redstone.getInput("back") then
  m.write("Arrived ")
else
  m.write("Away")
end

m.setCursorPos(15,5)
if redstone.getInput("right") then
  m.write("Arrived ")
else
  m.write("Away")
os.pullEvent("redstone")
end
sleep(1)
end

Here is my version.

-- Test for lamp signal
m = peripheral.wrap("top")
-- Useful functions here
function printCentered(sText)
  local w, h = term.getSize()
  local x, y = term.getCursorPos()
  x = math.max(math.floor((w / 2) - (#sText / 2)), 0)
  term.setCursorPos(x, y)
  print(sText)
end



function main()
while true do
m = peripheral.wrap("top")
m.clear()
m.setCursorPos(15,1)
m.write("-----Lamp Status-----")
m.setCursorPos(1,3)
m.write("White Lamp: ")
m.setCursorPos(1,4)
m.write("Orange Lamp: ")
m.setCursorPos(1,5)
m.write("Magenta Lamp: ")

m.setCursorPos(12,3)
if redstone.getBundledInput("right", colors.white) then
  m.write("On")
else
  m.write("Off")
end

m.setCursorPos(13,4)
if redstone.getBundledInput("right", colors.orange) then
  m.write("On")
else
  m.write("Off")
end

m.setCursorPos(14,5)
if redstone.getBundledInput("right", colors.magenta) then
  m.write("On")
else
  m.write("Off")
os.pullEvent("redstone")

sleep(5)
	  end
   end
end
main()

I didn't want to post until I really needed to but this has got me stuck at the moment, if anyone could help that would be great!

What do you expect your program to do, and what does it do instead? If it gave you an error, what was it?

You need to use colors.test to see if a color is in your bundled input

local currentInput = redstone.getBundledInput("right") --#Just so I only have to call this once
if colors.test(currentInput,colors.white) then  --# Colors.test works much like getInput
  --#Do your stuff
else
  --#Other stuff
end

When I look at the Monitor it glitches, as in it will appear and disappear really fast.
The error is "peripheral:74: Too long without yielding".
