Description
# CC Redstone Link Bridge
This mod connects **Create Redstone Link networks** with **CC:Tweaked computers**.
It adds a single block, the **CC Redstone Link Bridge**, which can be placed in the world and then used as a ComputerCraft peripheral.
This mod requires **Create** and **CC:Tweaked**.
## What the Mod Does
The bridge acts as a small adapter between two systems:
- **Create** provides the Redstone Link network.
- **CC:Tweaked** provides Lua control from computers.
With the bridge block in the world, a connected computer can:
- read the current signal strength of any Redstone Link frequency pair
- send a signal strength to any Redstone Link frequency pair
The mod is intentionally minimal. The Lua interface only exposes the two operations that are required for direct network interaction.
## How It Works
When the peripheral is used from Lua:
- `getLinkSignal(freq1, freq2)` looks up the current strength for that frequency pair.
- `sendLinkSignal(freq1, freq2, strength)` sets the target frequency pair and transmits the chosen strength.
The frequency values are item IDs written as strings.
For example, `minecraft:iron_ingot` and `minecraft:oak_sapling` form one valid pair.
## Crafting Recipe
The recipe is a 3x3 shaped craft with Redstone Links in all four corners, a Wireless Modem in the center, and Cobblestone in the bottom-middle slot. The three remaining middle-edge slots (top-middle, middle-left, and middle-right) are filled with Create transmitters.
## Lua API
Peripheral type:
- `redstone_link_bridge`
Methods:
- `getLinkSignal(freq1, freq2) -> number`
- `sendLinkSignal(freq1, freq2, strength)`
### Frequency Values
`freq1` and `freq2` must be item IDs as strings.
Examples:
- `"minecraft:iron_ingot"`
- `"minecraft:oak_sapling"`
- `"minecraft:redstone"`
Use an empty string (`""`) if you want to represent an empty frequency value.
## Example
```lua
local bridge = peripheral.find("redstone_link_bridge")
assert(bridge, "No redstone_link_bridge found")
-- Read an existing frequency pair
local current = bridge.getLinkSignal("minecraft:diamond", "minecraft:redstone")
print("Current signal:", current)
-- Send a signal to a frequency pair
bridge.sendLinkSignal("minecraft:diamond", "minecraft:redstone", 7)
```
