My first rednet

I'm really struggling to get rednet working to run my simple mining turtle program, my aim is to have multiple turtles run this when I input one command into my wireless computer.

http://pastebin.com/YJFDbNaf <——– this is my code, the name of the program is "hai" and my startup file is literally "shell.run("hai")"

However when I type "rednet.broadcast("hai") nothing seems to work? I am new to this sorry for the trouble.

Split into new topic.

The parameters for rednet.receive() are:

local ID, message, distance = rednet.receive()

Thanks for your reply, I have been toying around with this for a while, I will try again when I get home today but it's getting pretty frustrating seeing ast rednet.send(id, "code") works yet rednet.broadcast("code") doesen't =S

Thanks

Bump same problem

I'm using this

– Sender
rednet.broadcast("go")
– Receiver
id, message = rednet.receive()
if message == "go" then
shell.run("YourProgram")
end

Modems open?

Of course :D/>, on startup they open, you can look at them on the server when you have time if you like, I've gone over it so many times I can't seem to find the problem, I've ended up creating a program which runs multiple rednet.send() commands :P/>

Thanks

Are you sure the modem opens on the correct side? Do you see a little red border on the modem after you opened it?
