help with monitors

help with monitors-title qestion- is there a way for the computer to detect a rs input and then print something and a monitor then sleep(6) then clear the monitor?

Of course there is. :)/>/>

Take a look on the wiki at the OS API, more specifically the os.pullEvent and the "redstone" event. Then take a look at the redstone (rs) API and the peripherals API for monitor printing :)/>/>

Sorry cant give links and examples and such, on my phone

Example:

if rs.getInput(<side>) then --detect the incoming redstone input on <side>
    local mon = peripheral.wrap(<monSide>) --connect to the monitor on <monSide>
    mon.write("Redstone input received!") --write to the monitor
end

Note: <side> and <monSide> must be passed as strings(in quotations)
