Help with Nanomachine cycling

[spenoi 0]

I need help with nanomachine "probing". I'm trying to create a very basic program that cycles trough nanomachine slots. I intialize a variable in the beginning then create a for loop and increment the variable with 1 each time it's finishes. However it does not work. I can for example initialize the same variable in the first line, gave it a number and then it will check if that nanomachine slot do anything but as soon as I add the commented out code parts the program does nothing besided priting x.

x = 17

local component = require("component")
local m = require("component").modem
local event = require("event")
local term = require("term")

--for i=1,10 do

component.modem.broadcast(1, "nanomachines", "setInput", x, true)
os.sleep(2)

component.modem.broadcast(1, "nanomachines", "setInput", x, false)
print(x)

--x = x+1
--end

I suppose that you should add "os.sleep(1)" after "print (x)". There is no delay between setInput calls here.

The variable 'x' is only ever defined as 17 and is never changed.

your loop will just iterate over the code 10 times.

if you change the 'x' variables to 'i', then the modem calls will use the current number stored in i (which for your for loop above, would be 1 through to 10)

Not correct, there is x=x+1 line near the bottom.

Ahh actually, I got to set x as local (And equal to 1) in the first line. Now it does cycl trough the channels. Easy and cheesy!:)
