Basic door coding.

New to trying to use CC for things and i figure its easier than trying to figure out the logic stuff. But i have no clue how to program.
Extremely basic setup as you can see. Input signal from redstone wire is in the back, down on the right and up on the left.

What i would like is a code to bring the door down ( 4 pulses to the motor ) hold for say 30 seconds then bring the door back up. ( 4 more ) And all this with only one button press topside.

Split into new topic.

This section of the forums is for help fixing your existing code, not for asking people to code for you.

were would i post? in my mine ask a pro was logically sound. lol

Post here, your code, and we will solve any problem you encounter. We will not just GIVE you code since that would technically be OURS and not YOURS (Intellectual property) Plain and simple, post the erroring code and we will do out best to help you solve it. If you have no code, then you better get typing.

It's not an intellectual property issue at all. It's a forum section purpose issue.

Moved to General.

Are you sure that's computercraft? It looks kinda like an RP2 computer, but it may just be your texture pack.

We won't write you code. Learn Lua yourself: http://www.computercraft.info/wiki/

local function getredstoneinput()
os.pullevent('redstone)
if rs.getinput('back') == true then
shell.run('redpulse','left','4','.75')
sleep(30)
shell.run('redpulse','right','4','.75')
end
return true
end
while true do
parallel.waitforany(getredstoneinput)
end

what i got from looking at other programs. when i enter the program name i get an error. something about an unrecognized symbol on line three. I dont really understand so im basically tweaking what i can see to fit my setup.

A few quick things,
on line 2 you are missing an apostrophe, change it to:

os.pullevent('redstone')

Also, on line 3 and 11, Lua is cases sensitive, change them to:
(also, the '== true' should not be needed)

if rs.getInput('back') then

and

parallel.waitForAny(getredstoneinput)

Please use

 and 

tags. Also, why would you use parallel for one function?

The PIL is a much, much, much better learning resource than the wiki, the wiki isn't always correct and/or have the best practices, the API section is only good for ComputerCraft related… Here is a link to the PIL http://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html

I agree, I simply linked to the wiki as it has documentation for the redstone API, and even door lock tutorials.

i cleaned it up a bit still getting the error Bios:206: [string "irondoor"] :3: unexpected symbol
and is there a way to get the program to run automatically. my server restarts every 2 hours.

Ok, please tell us the new code. As for getting to start automatically, try renaming it to 'startup', that should fix it.
