Computer - allows you to collect information, process it, transmit it. By setting up the computer you can set the conditions under which the signal is transmitted to the device.
New Wire: Information Cable
Information cable - allows you to transfer information from different devices. The cable goes from the devices to the computer
Important note :
The info cable is segmented, so the signal from the device to the computer will not be instantaneous like other cables, but the transmission delay will be small, roughly (as the developer wants)
Example:
1 - Received : | if | (thermometer temperature) | equal / unequal / more / lower | | your number | :
What to do? : Send the signal from the computer to | your device |
2 - Received : | if | (flashlight) | active / not active | and should | active / not active |
What to do? : Send the signal from the computer to | your device |
Computer windows structure:

Feature purpose
I think this will simplify the construction, but also allow you to build something more without resorting to mods. Also it would give multi-threading without spamming the signal, which I have encountered quite a bit and it caused me problems, which prompted me to write to you.
