Hi new to lua and have tried to figure this out for myself before asking this.
Quite simple, all I want to do is use an input from a bundled cable to bring on an output on a bundled cable.
If somone could show me an example of this it I would be very grateful.

Input = Output????? What sorcery are you using? What are you trying to do? Your description is a little vague. If my early morning brain is working… You want to make a repeater since bundled cable only goes so far, and have a computer listen for an input, and change the same state on the other side?

getIn = rs.getBundledInput("back", colors.red) --Change back to what side it's on, and red to the color you would like to test.
if getIn then
rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.blue) --Change back to side, and blue to what line you want to have on
end

if rs.getBundledInput("left", colors.white) then rs.getBundledOutput("right", colors.orange)
end
Can you explain why that doesnt work?

If input is white, it then checks for orange in you're code, make it this:
if rs.getBundledInput("left", colors.white) then
rs.setBundledOutput("right", colors.orange)
end
getBundledInput: return true or false, on specified line/color.
setBundledOutput: Sets on/off status on the spesified line/color.
getBundledOutput: Returns true if the specified line is one, else it will return false-

I've done what you said above but the orange output is constanly on regardless of the state of the white input.

while true do
sleep(.1)
k = rs.getBundledInput("left", colors.white)
if k then
rs.setBundledOutput("right", colors.orange)
else
rs.setBundledOutput("right",colors.gray) --I just set gray to turn orange off.

while true do
os.pullEvent("redstone")
redstone.setBundledOutput("right", redstone.getBundledInput("left"))
end
I have tested my code I posted, it works with changing output. For every change in input state, it updates the other side. In this instance, using os.pullEvent is a little more reliable. Otherwise, you might get a too long without yielding error. Just make sure the first one is the output, and the second is input.
