when the openperipheral terminal glasses came out i created a test program, but then i maked it my main program and then i decided to release it for other people.

this program triggers redstone on top of it if one of the following commands are typed

Spoiler


$$toggle--toggles the redstone state
$$pulse--changes the redstone state for 4 seconds and then goes back to before this command

it also displays the state of the redstone

how to use:

Spoiler

1. place the terminal glasses bridge
2.place the computer on top off the terminal glasses bridge
3.place the redstone on top off the computer
4.get terminal glasses(or if you also have MPS installed, get the terminal glasses module on your power helmet)
5.right click the terminal glasses bridge
6.pastebin the program: pastebin get vXryjxUK# CommandRedstone
7.????
8.PROFIT!

code:

pastebin get 9sWKnPS0 CommandRedstone

Note:this program requires openPeripheral:http://www.computerc...711#entry120711

nice and simple.

one code improvement though that jumped straight out at me.
this:


if command == "toggle" then
  if redstoneState == false then
   rs.setOutput("top",true)
   redstoneState = true
  else
   rs.setOutput("top",false)
   redstoneState = false
  end
end

can become


if command == "toggle" then
  redstoneState = not redstoneState --# this line toggles the boolean variable, see quote below for more info
  rs.setOutput("top", redstoneState)
end

this is how the not operator works

not true = false
not false = true

No problems. You could use a similar method for the pulse command too


if command == "pulse" then
  rs.setOutput("top", not redstoneState)
  sleep(4)
  rs.setOutput("top", redstoneState)
end

Ok, made a little better (I hope :P/>) version, changed some things… http://pastebin.com/GkTuNmwS
Changes:
1. You can now tell the program where the RS output and the glassesbridge is
2. LOTS of changes in the background, just have a look at it :P/>

Why should it clear? The redstone signal is either on or off, you don't have to clear anything… And on startup it clears automatically.

Sorry, but I had to do that. New termglassRS: http://pastebin.com/UGTKZhLP New updater: http://pastebin.com/JyYgs2Ys
Made it so you only have to run the updater, it detects what the name of the program was previously and replaces it (And if it fails, it has a save copy called "[filename]_old"). Had to add a bunch off stuff, but I think it's worth it.
