rednet cables

so i want to have 2 sets of engines hooked up to a computer, so i can enable them both separately . i have hooked them up to Rednet cables from mine factory reloaded, and put them on white and orange.
i would also like to toggle them, so if i type left, the left one will turn on, if i type left again, it will turn off, this can either be done through a logic gate program that i have or in the computer. now i'm not too sure on how to go about this. with using the cables and doing the logic gates, as i am fairly new to CC, but am seeming to make my way? sort off. any way.

CC 1.6 or 1.58?

CC 1.5 at the top of my monitors screen

Use MFR cables and try rs.setBundledOutput(side, colors)
Eg

rs.setBundledOutput("left",colors.blue) -- enables blue output and ONLY bour on left side
rs.setBundledOutput("left",0) -- disables all outputs on left
rs.setBundledOutput("left",colors.blue+colors.red) -- enables blue and red on the left side

Using CC 1.5, I believe you'll need RedPower's bundled cables.

…eh? Red Power isn't out for 1.5, CC uses MFR's cables for 1.5 bundled cable support. In 1.6 there's a new API, though :)/>

CC 1.5 (ComputerCraft v1.5) works with Minecraft 1.4.6/1.4.7

Indeed. Also note that MFR support wasn't added until CC 1.53.

ok, sweet. thanks Ape! but how do i disable that colour? so i would do.

rs.setBundledOutput("left",colors.blue)
sleep (2)
rs.setBundledOutput("left",colors.blue off)

and that will pulse it for 2 seconds right?

No. If you want to disable a color, simply omit it's value in the next set. If you have NO values being enabled, use 0 to disable all lines:

rs.setBundledOutput("left",colors.blue) -- only blue is on
sleep(2)
rs.setBundledOutput("left",colors.red+colors.green) -- red and green on, all other off
sleep(2)
rs.setBundledOutput("left",0) -- all colors off
