Hello everyone,

I apologize first off if I should have just commented on that post, I just didn't want to necro / hijack the thread. I'm currently attempting to use BadCode's password door for the sake of learning. I've got the code to run, the password is accepted/denied appropriately. My issue however is upon running the code, it immediately emits a redstone signal from my redstone i/o (Using creative computer with a redstone i/o block attached) before a password is input. I assume from reading the code it's the part where it attempts to reset the door to its closed position? What seems to happen is upon accepting the password, the I/O actually ends the signal emission for the designated duration instead. I'm a bit too new to figure out why / how to fix this and was wondering if anyone would be able to help me understand how I can do fix it. I'll attach the code from the other post. The only edit I've made is adjusting the side that the power is emitting from. 

EDIT#1: So after getting some help from the IRC we were able to figure out why I'm a failure haha. It seems that the issue stemmed from the default values in the code being assigned to emit at a level of 255 for the redstone (which I wasn't aware was for non-vanilla redstone wires). The code below has been updated accordingly for vanilla redstone wire. Thanks to @Vexatos for being awesome and catching that.

--[[ 
  Password Lock Program for OpenComputers


  This program is designed to run indefinitely on a basic terminal to provide 
  password protection via redstone. It includes configurations for the door open
  duration, redstone output side, password, and an "admin" break password that will
  allow a user to gracefully terminate the program.
