Cannot use modem to receive messages

[Mad-Mushroom]

I'm trying to do communication via modem, but I cannot pull a modem message:

local _, _, dns_from, dns_port, _, dns_message = event.pull("modem_message") will give me a error saying I cannot put a String for event.pull.

Now I read through the Wiki https://github.com/IgorTimofeev/MineOS/wiki/Event-API but I still don't know how to pull a event from the modem. I just get key_up, *component id*, 13.0, 28.0 And I have no idea what to do with this.

So I just wanna know how to receive a message from a modem just like in the OpenOS example https://ocdoc.cil.li/component:modem :)

Thank you for your Help :D

local , , dns_from, dnsport, , dns_message = event.pull("modem_message")

This code is for OpenOS event library, not MineOS

Here's suitable for UI example:

local GUI = require("GUI")

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

local workspace = GUI.workspace()

-- Add any widget to workspace, let it be the background colored panel
local backgroundPanel = workspace:addChild(GUI.panel(1, 1, workspace.width, workspace.height, 0x2D2D2D))

-- Attach an event handler to it
backgroundPanel.eventHandler = function(workspace, backgroundPanel, eventType, dns_to, dns_from, dns_port, dns_distance, dns_message)
  if eventType== "modem_message" then
    GUI.alert("Message received", dns_message)
  end
end

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

workspace:draw()
workspace:start()

Thread-locking, more suitable for daemon scripts, not for UI:

local event = require("Event")

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

while true do
  local eventType, dns_to, dns_from, dns_port, dns_distance, dns_message = event.pull()
  if eventType = "modem_message" then
    -- Do your stuff
  end
end
