Hi i am currently trying to rig up a remote message board, i have found the sender and receiver code pasted by StevenSeegal But i cannot get it working. Theres no errors but also no messages going through.
This is the message sender code
This is the message receiver code
Believe it could be something to do with server id im not sure tho, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
This is the message sender code
local mdmside = "top" -- Define the side of you modem
local srvid = "2" -- Define the server ID
rednet.open(mdmside)
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Message Board Sender")
print("Type quit to stop")
while true do
write("Enter text: ")
message = io.read()
if message == "quit" then
break
else
rednet.send(srv, message)
end
end
This is the message receiver code
local monside = "back" -- Define the side of your monitor
local mdmside = "top" -- Define the side of your modem
local montextsize = 2 -- Define the size of the text on your monitor
local header = "Teleporter Listings" -- Type the header of your board
local rson = false -- true is use redstone output, false don't uses the output
local rsoutput = "right" -- Define the redstone output towards a bell of light or something (only needed when rson is set to true)
local rstime = 1 -- The time the redstone output is open
mon = peripheral.wrap(monside)
mon.setCursorBlink(false)
mon.setTextScale(montextsize)
local monwidth, monheight = mon.getSize()
local messages = {}
local num = 0
local messageBegin = 0
local messageEnd = 0
local maxMessagesOS = monheight-3
function monprint(text)
local cX,cY = mon.getCursorPos()
mon.write(text)
mon.setCursorPos(1,cY+1)
end
function clearscreen()
mon.clear()
mon.setCursorPos(1,1)
monprint(header)
mon.setCursorPos(1,3)
end
function addmessage(text)
if #messages > maxMessagesOS then
messageBegin = (#messages - maxMessagesOS)
messageEnd = #messages
elseif #messages <= maxMessagesOS then
messageEnd = #messages
end
clearscreen()
for b = messageBegin, messageEnd do
monprint(messages[b])
end
end
function init()
clearscreen()
running = true
end
init()
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Message Board SERVER")
print("Press q to quit")
rednet.open(mdmside)
while running do
event, id, receivedmessage = os.pullEventRaw()
if event == "rednet_message" then
local nTime = os.time()
messages[num] =(textutils.formatTime( nTime, false).." - "..receivedmessage)
num = num+1
addmessage()
if rson then
rs.setOutput(rsoutput, true)
sleep(rstime)
rs.setOutput(rsoutput, false)
end
sleep(0.1)
elseif event == "key" and id == 16 then
mon.clear()
running = false
end
end
