Rednet Help

Hello! I come here today as a simple noob with rednet.
I have 2 adv computers, 2 Wireless modems, and an ADV monitor. I want to place one computer in my house and have the other+monitor on a billboard. The intent is to send messages from my house to the monitor via rednet. I have been attempting to get this myself for about 3 days now but I just cant get it. Is there anyway I can get a script from somebody and see what I need to do? Or just guiding me on the right path would be a big help, thank you.

Split into new topic.

Have looked at the wiki of the mod ? You will gind everything you need and more :)/>

Do you mean that you want to send from your computer to a computer that displays the text on the monitor?

The built in rednet API is pretty simple to use. Obviously, it's not so secure but that doesn't seem to be what you're worrying about.

I agree you should look at the wiki and figure as much out as you can, but here's a crash course on rednet.

rednet.open(side) -- you must open the peripheral before you can use rednet.

rednet.send(id, msg) -- this will send a message to to the computer with the id <id>.

local id, msg, distance = rednet.receive() -- this will wait for a rednet message
                                           -- the receiving computer must be waiting on this
                                           -- in order to receive the sent message.

rednet.broadcast(msg) -- this sends a message to any computer that's listening via rednet.receive()

Here is a simple send, receive, and disply to monitor code.
ps. in order to get a computers id just enter id on the prompt screen and it will display.

— sending program

rednet.open("right") --- this tells the sending computer to send the message through the modem on the side listed
rednet.send(115,"write your message here") --- this tells the sending computer to send computer 115 the message between the quotes
rednet.close("right") --- this deactivates the modem on the side listed

— receiving program

m = peripheral.wrap("top")  --- tells the computer that anytime you specify m it will do that action on the monitor to the side listed
rednet.open("right") --- this tells the receiving computer to receive rednet messages through the modem on the listed side.

while true do --- an endless loop so the computer is always listning for a message
  event, id, message, distance = os.pullEvent("rednet_message") --- tells the receiver to wait for a message and split it into its 3 parts

  if id == 114 then --- tells the reciever to check what computer the rednet message was sent from (in this case computer id 114)
	m.setCursorPos(1,1) --- sets the cursor position to the 1st palce on the 1st line of the monitor
	m.write(message) --- writes out the rednet message
  end

  sleep(0.5) --- waits 1/2 a second then runs the program again looking for a message.
end

Hope this helps!
