Using peripheral methods via wireless modem

Hello

I would like to make some sort of network with wireless modems to control my big reactor and turbines.

I'm thinking something like this - main computer will send message to computer connected to reactor:

-- hey activate that reactor
modem.transmit(1, 2, "setActive(true)")

This message will caught secondary computer

local event, modemSide, senderChannel, replyChannel, message, senderDistance = os.pullEvent("modem_message")
-- message received, turning up
reactor.message() -- but actually is going to use "reactor.setActive(true)"

Thanks for your reply

You can do it like this:

modem.transmit( 1,2, {"setActive",true} )

local event, modemSide, senderChannel, replyChannel, message, senderDistance = os.pullEvent("modem_message")

reactor[ message[1] ]( message[2] )

You'd send a table containing the method to call (as a string), and the value to pass it.

On the other end you index the method name in the reactor table, calling the function with the value specified in the message.

Though it is fairly old, I believe you may benefit from using my wireless peripherals API. If nothing else, you could read through my code to see how you might accomplish something similar.

Thanks for your answers.
I used solution of HPWebcamAble, and after some editing and troubleshooting I managed to make it work flawlessly.

For my case I did something similiar, but with determining if its argument given or not.
