Here is my system for sending messages across an unlimited distance

It uses open peripherals, ender storage, wireless redstone and, of course, computercraft.


Pastebin is in the video description

clever system you got. And relatively simple too!

Looks like a cool system but I'd just like to suggest trying your config file… I believe you can set the max range higher without any sacrifice.

This is nice. You could use the same method for communicating with the remote turtle on some mission and send commands to it or let the turtle to request some resources from the base.

Is it possible to use the same idea to make it send/receive data instead of text? So I can have a long-range relay in my system.

It is. You can use the text utils api to serialize a table of data into a string. You can then unserialize back into a table at the other end. Computercraft does all the hard work for you.

This looks very nice :D/>
I just thought that you might be able to use the turtle for both the chat and the enderchest-floppydrive movement instead of having to use two devices (computer+turtle)

Really cool, but a word on security. It'll send every single message it gets through those floppies in the clear over rednet for anyone to intercept and read. Why isn't the computer reading the floppy?
