## Remote redstone See [retstone.py](retstone.py) for usage example ### Glossary repeaters - the blocks which allow to interact with redstone over internet \ packet - a bunch of bytes sent over the internet, that do something with a single repeater ### How it works A packet is int / 4 bytes / 32 bits Packet format: ``` [ 01 ] [ 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 ] [ 29 30 31 32 ] action bits 2-28 of repeater id payload ``` - action: `1` to write, `0` to read - payload: power level if writing If writing, no response \ If reading, response is the power level, or -1 if no repeater with that id (subject to change) Reading powers the block down of course \ If the block was powered, you should power it down (or read), wait some, and then read again ### Retstone **Network** translates to **reto** in Esperanto \ So retsomething means networked something (posto - mail, retposto - email, ejo - place (site), retejo - website, etc.) \ And sometimes we use network instead of internet, same is in that language \ Hence retstone
