It is already recognizing it, however the way the computer is setup is that you cannot actually type code commands such as peripheral.wrap into the shell. You'd need to get to the area that allows you to do so. The reason that this is so is that it works like that on your computer you're using right now. You cannot just go into the file browers and tell it to execute code. It will try to search for a file with the name of whatever code you typed, and tell you no file found. However, if you go to the command prompt, it will allow you to type commands into it.

I'll give a short tutorial of how to do so in CC.

chatbox.say("Hello there people")

Unfortunately, while quite clever, Dragon's solution will only allow you to detect one colour at a time - whichever enabled one is closest to your computer. If you want to use the bundled cable as a proper bundled cable, you'll have to get rs.getBundledInput() working.

Maybe you've got read-only capabilities? I've got a memory that some version of Project Red was limited in that way, but for your purposes, that may be enough! Try rs.getBundledInput("back") with various colours lit/unlit and see what results you get back.

Please post the version numbers for ComputerCraft and ProjectRed.

Lyqyd, on 21 May 2015 - 04:41 PM said:

You appear to have an outdated version of ProjectRed. Try updating to a more recent build (4.6+).

for i,v in pairs(API) do print(i) end

table = peripheral.getMethods("left")
for i=1,#table do
  print(table[i])
end

Real quick. I watched the video, however I'm confused how the computer will be getting the information about the reactor being overheated. Earlier I assumed that the redstone was what gave the computer the information about the reactor being heated up, however now I'm not so sure.

print(colors.test(rs.getBundledInput("back"),colors.red))

local input = rs.getBundledInput("back")
if colors.test(input,colors.red) then
  --#Do emergency stuff
elseif colors.test(input,colors.orange) then --# Or whatever the next lowest is
  --#Do the next level downs stuff
elseif colors.test(input,colors.green) then --# add more of these for each color, going down the line of highest to lowest.
  --# Do the green stuffs
end

while true do
  -- check input, do speaker stuff

  os.pullEvent("redstone")
end

speaker=peripheral.wrap("right")
local input = rs.getBundledInput("back") --#set the input variable to whatever the bundled input was when
                                         --#the program was started.  This variable is not changed anywhere.
while true do --#forever
  os.pullEvent("redstone") --#pull the redstone event
end
--#everything below here will not be executed, because you never exit the above loop
if colors.test(input,colors.red) then
  speaker.speak("Reactor Critical!   Reactor critical!  Meltdown Imminent")
end --#this end is unnecessary and wrong; you can't have an else after you end your if.
    --#it also causes the <eof> expected (End Of File) error.
elseif colors.test(input,colors.pink) then
  speaker.speak("Danger!  Reactor heat level Critical!  Evacuate all none essentail Personnel!")
elseif colors.test(input,colors.green) then
  speaker.speak("Danger! Reactor Heat level at 6000 Degrees!")
elseif colors.test(input,colors.yellow) then
  speaker.speak("Warning! Reactor Heat Level above Acceptable limit!")

  speaker.speak("Caution! reactor Heat level at 4000 degrees!")
elseif colors.test(input,colors.magenta) then

dumb question but this program was built in computercraft 1.73, will it work in 1.74?
