The redstone I/O block can be used to remotely read and emit redstone signals. It behaves like a hybrid of a tier 1 and 2 redstone card: it can read and emit simple analog as well as bundled signals, but cannot read or emit wireless redstone signals.
When providing a side to the methods of the component exposed by this block, the directions are the global principal directions, i.e. it is recommended to use sides.north
, sides.east
and so on.
Like the redstone cards, this block injects a signal into connected computers when the state of a redstone signal changes - both for analog as well as for bundled signals. This block can also be configured to wake up connected computers when a certain input strength is exceeded, allowing automated booting of computers.
