Rednet (API)
From ComputerCraft Wiki
The rednet API provides a simple computer networking model over RedPower bundled cables.
| Method name | Description |
|---|---|
| rednet.open( side ) | Tells the computer that the side can be used for networking. |
| rednet.close( side ) | Tells the computer that the side can no longer be used for networking. |
| rednet.announce() | <no description given> |
| rednet.send( receiverID, message ) | Sends a message to the computer using the opened sides. |
| rednet.broadcast( message ) | Sends the message to ALL computers. |
| rednet.receive( timeout ) | Receives packets. Usage: senderID, message = rednet.receive(5) and the like. It sends the ID of the sender, and the message. |
You can also handle the "rednet_message" event to receive messages without calling receive(), the arguments are the same as the receive() return values.
