## 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 |
