Hello I'm sure this program is super easy to make but im a newcommer to computercraft and im trying to do a program that senses lava on the ground by the right side of the computer and sends a redstone signal to the left side of the computer, im making this program for botania thermalilys, heres a screenshot for more accurate info

Computers (The block) cannot sense the environment around them (With the exception of Command Computers, but those are Creative only)
A TURTLE however, can. Basically, its a computer that can move (With fuel) and interact with its environment
(Hopefully you can find the recipe in NEI)
Here's the Turtle API:

You are looking for block named "minecraft:flowing_lava". Metadata value of 0 for source block.

More specifically, source blocks use the name minecraft:lava, while non-source blocks use minecraft:flowing_lava.

More specifically, source blocks use the name minecraft:lava, while non-source blocks use minecraft:flowing_lava.
Could you test that? I am sure i was detecting lava source blocks in my ssp world using minecraft:flowing_lava and metadata 0 just 2 days ago for my extended turtle api. Sadly i am not able to test that right now but i believe that difference you speak of was for water not lava.

On testing, I see we're both wrong: source blocks use metadata 0, flowing blocks use metadata 2. "Updating" blocks (flows "in motion") use minecraft:flowing_lava, whereas "settled" blocks (flows which've gone as far as they can) use minecraft:lava.
So to find source blocks, you'd need to check for both minecraft:lava and minecraft:flowing_lava with metadata of 0.

That explains my confusion - turtle movement was causing lava updates for me. Thank you for testing it for me and the OP.
