Problem with the server, modem.send() and modem.broadcast

[danielrama30 0]

Hello everyone.

I have a problem with the server rack the commands mentioned in the title of the thread.

I have to send a message from the server to a computer.....but the problem is that he receives messages from other computers but not send them. I tried to use programs and single commands but still not work.

I wrote this on the server:

component.modem.broadcast("111, "test") or component.modem.send({computer address}, 111, "test")

And this on the computer:

=event.pull("modem_message")

I used the relay to realize that it is the server doesn't send messages because it doesn't blink. (Not sure I wrote correctly, I'm not english.)

Every method I try doesn't work. Nobody else has had this problem? Can someone help me?

Hi.

If you use a Server make sure that you configured the rack correctly. As you see in the screenshot below a server with a network card has two connections. One for the Component network and one for the Network Card itself, while a server without network card only has one connection. Also make sure that the cable is connected to the correct side.

I set as you suggested but still does not work

Please post the formatted server code. Preferably in code tags formatted for lua. I'll take a crack at it.

In the computer:

--Setting libraries
local component = require("component")
local term = require("term")
local event = require("event")
local modem = component.modem

--Program code

modem.open(111)

term.clear()
print(">")
term.setCursor(2,1)
input = io.read()

if input == "server.status" then
  modem.send("address of the server", 123, input)
  os.sleep(2)
  local _,_,_,_,_,status = event.pull("modem")
  print("Server status: " .. status)
else
  print("Illegal command")
end

In the server:

--Setting libraries
local component = require("component")
local term = require("term")
local event = require("event")
local modem = component.modem

--Program code
modem.open(123)

while true do
  local _,_,remoteNetwork,_,_,input = event.pull("modem_message")
  print("Command received: " .. input)
  
  if input == "server.status" then
    modem.send(remoteNetwork, 111, "Online")
  else
    modem.send(remoteNetwork, 111, " ")
  end
end
    

 I tried with modem.send() and modem.broadcast() but nothing changes.

I believe I see the problem.. You are sleeping past the responses from the server.. Try this out. It has some comments to try and explain...

-- # Setting libraries
local component = require("component")
local term = require("term")
local event = require("event")
local modem = component.modem

-- # Program code

modem.open(111)

term.clear()
print(">")
term.setCursor(2,1)
input = io.read()

if input == "server.status" then
  modem.send("address of the server", 123, input)
  -- # os.sleep(2) // HERE. We sleep beyond the response of the server, thus waiting forever.
  -- # event.pull is essentially coroutine.yield, which will wait for a loose match of an event id. i.e "modem" will match "modem_message"
  local _,_,_,_,_,status = event.pull("modem") -- # halt until any modem* event. This, ideally, should be "modem_massege"
  print("Server status: " .. status) -- we must have seen an event that at least started with the string "modem".
else
  print("Illegal command")
end
