Primitive remote code execution via OC network

bios.lua

local m=component.proxy(component.list("modem")())
m.open(2412)
local function respond(...)
  local args=table.pack(...)
  pcall(function() m.broadcast(2412, table.unpack(args)) end)
end
local function receive()
  while true do
    local evt,_,_,_,_,cmd=computer.pullSignal()
    if evt=="modem_message" then return load(cmd) end
  end
end
while true do
  local result,reason=pcall(function()
    local result,reason=receive()
    if not result then return respond(reason) end
    respond(result())
  end)
  if not result then respond(reason) end
end

client.lua

local component = require("component")
local event = require("event")
local modem = component.modem
modem.open(2412)
modem.broadcast(2412, "drone=component.proxy(component.list('drone')())")
while true do
  local cmd=io.read()
  if not cmd then return end
  modem.broadcast(2412, cmd)
  print(select(6, event.pull(5, "modem_message")))
end

Do you have a wireless modem installed on your computer?

Can you create a primitive analog to digital and a digital to analog lua script for a microcontroller?

local function proxyComp(name) return component.proxy(component.list(name)()) end

Can be useful to reduce the code size and complexity when we need many components, for example:

local drive = proxyComp("drive")
local filesystem = proxyComp("filesystem")
local geolyzer = proxyComp("geolyzer")
local modem = proxyComp("modem")

is much easier to write and much smaller then:

local drive = component.proxy(component.list("drive")())
local filesystem = component.proxy(component.list("filesystem")())
local geolyzer = component.proxy(component.list("geolyzer")())
local modem = component.proxy(component.list("modem")())

ok for some reason if I flash this to an eeprom and try to boot the robot he tells me that there is a missing ")" on line 15 to close the "(" on line 14 any suggestion why? Seems he doesn´t like the pcall one going over multiple lines

edit this was in Minecraft 1.12 with Open Computers 1.7.5

Tried this and nothing happens when I parse commands.

You need a wireless modem/network card, not a wired one (called "Network Card")

Also, edit the first line from "local m=component.proxy(component.list("modem")())" to "local m=component.proxy(component.list("modem"))())"
, because print(returnsfoo() will print returnsfoo(, which is an invalid lua command
