Computer craft. Repeat message.

[Reece C.]

rednet.open("left")

while true do

shell.run("clear")

if rs.getInput ("back") then

      rednet.broadcast("engines on")

else

    rednet.broadcast("engines off")

end

os.pullEvent("redstone")

end

I want it to repeatedly send the correct message, instead of just sending it once when the red-stone is updated.

[Reece C.]

I could just use this

rednet.open("left")

while true do

shell.run("clear")

if rs.getInput ("back") then

      rednet.broadcast("engines on")

      shell.run("reboot")

else

    rednet.broadcast("engines off")

    shell.run("reboot")

end

os.pullEvent("redstone")

end

But sometimes there is a large delay before the message is updated. I need something more reliable.

it's the os.pullEvent line that's causing the trouble here, it waits for a redstone event before allowing the program to loop again. Remove it but be sure to put in a sleep() call.

Ah, there we go. Thanks.
