Monitor

2012-10-26T18:34:21Z

Waflix:

The '''Monitor''' is a block that can display text on its front side. When several screen blocks are placed on the same plane, it will form a single monitor. It is useful for displaying information at a server spawn, showing a program on the monitor, and even showing the status of an IC2 reactor! (provided you have [[CcSensors]] installed)

===Using the Monitor===
The command used to control a monitor: monitor [top, bottom, left, right, front or back] [the name of the command to display]

So, in this case, if you typed "hello" in the name of the program part, the monitor would display "Hello World!".

===Using the Monitor within the Lua interface===
The monitor can be summoned through a command or through coding with the Lua command.

The command used to control a monitor within the Lua interface: shell.run("monitor" "[top, bottom, left, right, front or back]" "[the name of the command to display]")

For example, here is a way of summoning the monitor through a command:

<tt>[[print]]("Hello Monitor!")

Turtle

Waflix:

'''Turtles''' are essentially robots, and were added in the 1.3 update. They run an OS (like the [[Console|consoles]]) named [[TurtleOS]]. They have the ability to place, break and detect blocks, move around and drop items in their inventory. The programs they run are stored on [[Floppy Disk|floppy disks]].

If you would like to know more about how to program them, have a look at the [[Turtle (API)|Turtle API]].

==Floppy Disks==
Turtles do not have a built-in floppy drive. As such they need a floppy drive placed next to them to access disks.

==Fuel==
Turtles have been equipped with a state of the art quantum ionizing engine. This means that, once given fuel (the redstone used to craft them), they do not need to be re-charged, nor do any fuel cells need to be replaced, likewise they don't need to have external power directed to them either.

TurtleOS

Waflix:

[[File:8EPlc.png|400px|thumb|right|TurtleOS interface]]
TurtleOS is the default OS for [[Turtle|turtles]]. The difference with the default OS for [[Console|consoles]] is that TurtleOS works with the new [[Turtle API], which can be used to code turtles.
Its features include...
* Default; guaranteed to work across updates unlike the others.
* DOS style interface
* Only OS for turtles at time of writing
* Do It Yourself: letting you customize what you want on your Turtle.

Wireless Modem

2012-03-14T20:40:01Z

Waflix:

[[File:QJrCF.png|frame|right|The recipe for a modem.]]
== Description ==
'''Modems''' are blocks which can be used to wirelessly transfer data between [[Console|consoles]] and [[Turtle|turtles]], using "rednet" commands.
To place a modem on a side of your console, click on the console with the right mouse button while sneaking (with standard settings: holding the left shift button).

It is also possible to turn the modem on and off by typing "rednet.open ( side )" to open and "rednet.close ( side )" to close.

Modems can send messages to other modems located up to 64 metres away, or 17 metres during a thunderstorm.[http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/topic/464-wireless-distance/page__hl__distance__fromsearch__1]

== Example ==
* Place 2 consoles and add modems to them by clicking the right mouse button while sneaking.
* Access them, and start Lua.
* Once Lua has started, type "rednet.open (<relative location to modem, e.g. left, right>)" on both consoles.
* Check if there exists a connection: a dim, red light should be found on the modem.
* Type on one console "rednet.receive (60)". This will make the console freeze for 60 seconds, or until it has received a signal from the other console.
* Now, type "rednet.broadcast ('<your message>')" on the other console. This should send your message to all consoles connected.
* Opening the first console should show the message written on the second console.
