Lua- Timers

I'm new at computer craft and i've been looking everywhere for Youtube videos on how to make a timer (like every 0.2 seconds it turns on a redstone signal) but I just can't seem to find any. I would appreciate it if someone could help me out :D/>/>

This should do it

local side = "back" -- this is the side
local pause = 0.2 -- this is 0.2 seconds
while true do
    sleep(pause)
    rs.setOutput(side,true)
    sleep(pause)
    rs.setOutput(side,false)
end

You could just use a while loop with a sleep:

while true do
  rs.setOutput('back', true)
  sleep(0.2)
  rs.setOutput('back', false)
  sleep(0.2)
end

There's also the "redpulse" program.

EDIT: I really hate ninjas.

Change "sleep(pause)" to "sleep(pause / 2)"
As far as I know, sleep(1) is a 2 second delay.

No it is one second to quote the help for sleep()

sleep makes the computer idle for a specific number of seconds.

ex:
"sleep 10" puts the computer to sleep for 10 seconds

Thank you i would never be able to do this but i'm ready to learn :D/>/>
