[Question]How do I turn rednet messages into redstone signals?

I am trying to turn rednet messages into fast pulsing redstone signals and back, so I can send long range messages using Wireless Redstone. If anyone has an idea on how to do so, or has some example code, it would be much appreciated.

You might want to check out the Rednet, Os.pullEvent(), and Redstone API pages.

As for how to do it, well if I gave you the code then you wouldn't learn anything.

I would suggest waiting for an event(os.pullEvent() or rednet.receive()) until a certain message is received and if that message is what you want then do a certain action(redstone signals).

If you don't want to learn then click the spoiler for an idea of how to do it :

while true do
	local senderID, message, distance = os.pullEvent(rednet_message)
	   --You could also use rednet.receive() instead of os.pullEvent()
	if (senderID == "12") and (message == "Hello") then
		  --do stuff
	else
		 --do other stuff
	end --ends if statement
end -- ends while loop

If anyone has any ideas for turning redstone to rednet it would be great!

It's exactly the opposite of this…

When you receive a redstone signal then send a rednet message..

Oh right…

senderID is a number, not a string
