According to the wiki page for redstone (http://computercraft.info/wiki/index.php?title=Redstone_%28API%29) You can use rs.getBundledInput(string side). This is how to test if a color is on:


print (colors.test (redstone.getBundledInput("back"), colors.blue))

Good luck!

if colors.test( rs.getBundledInput("back"), colors.white ) then
  print("White")
elseif colors.test( rs.getBundledInput("back"), colors.orange ) then
  print("Orange")
elseif colors.test( rs.getBundledInput("back"), colors.magenta ) then
  print("Magenta")
end
-- IDK if this works, I never really used the colors/rs api.
