Solar Panel Factory

I want to make a solar panel factory, (tekkit) and I am using redstone engines, bundled cable, and insulated cable. I want to make several programs where I can fire off different colored cables with a continuous signal until prompted for it to stop. i.e. Magenta being hooked up to to the engine for pumping iron into a furnace etc.

Can anyone make programs that can do this? Or at the least walk me through it? (Any color you wish is ok)

You will want to use the redstone and colors API's. Check them out on the wiki, and/or type help redpower from a terminal for more details/examples.

Here's something to get you started.

local c = 0 --declare c will use this for our colors. 0 == off, no colors on

--turn on lets say red
c = colors.combine(c, colors.red) -- add red to our colors
rs.setBundledOutput("back", c)  -- turn on the colors in c

-- now lets add blue to the mix
c = colors.combine(c, colors.blue)
rs.setBundledOutput("back", c)  -- since red was already added to c, this will now leave red on and turn on blue so both will be on.

--now lets turn off red, and leave blue on
c = colors.subtract(c, colors.red)
rs.setBundledOutput("back", c)

Get something started, and when/if you run into issues feel free to post again with your code.
