Since I no longer use ComputerCraft, I will not be updating this program anymore.
I do not recommend using it, but if you want to, I am leaving the original post in a spoiler here.
Easy Bundled Cable Control API, is what it says… :)/>
Have you ever been annoyed by the complexity of controlling redpower bundled cable output from a computercraft computer?
If so, you may want to try this API, which from here on is called the "output api"
Please let me know of any errors in the output api, or features you would like added.
Function List
Example Programs
To run this program you need the output api installed and a bundled cable conected to the back of the computer you run it on.
Conect a white, orange, and magenta colored wire to the bundled cable, and conect something to each of the colored wires.
The the colored wires will be turned on from white to magenta, then turned off.
This program will turn on the white wire if you give power to the red wire (useless yes, but it is just showing how to use the api)
The full list of colors you can use is:
white, orange, magenta, lightBlue, yellow, lime, pink, gray, lightGray, cyan, purple, blue, brown, green, red, and black.
Installation:
To get the output API simply run this command in a computer with the http api enabled.
Then the output API will be ready for use on that computer (as a file called output) if you want to use it on other computers run the command on them too.
If you dont have/want the http api enabled you can download it from here http://pastebin.com/fDvvvy0L.
