I'm fairly new to minecraft, so I've been doing a lot of experimenting and trying to figure thins out. I've done well so far, but this one has me stumped. I'd like to use the elevator track to create an elevator that goes between two floors (top and bottom). I can get the thing to go one direction, but then it gets stuck. It seems I can't find a way to turn off the redstone signal once a lever has been used to turn it on. Is there a simple way to do this, hopefully just using redstone and rednet cables?

If you use rednet cables, you'll need a T-flip-flop gate for it to work. An input from either side will toggle the output.

I get the general idea of a T flip flop using regular redstone, but how would I go about setting one up using rednet cable?

If you use a Detector Track it will emit a redstone signal, hook this up to your basic:
BLOCK
TORCH
BLOCK
TORCH
set up, and you should be good.

I personally did it with computers and wireless redstone and bundled cable from redpower 2(yes it was a while ago but rednet has its own bundled cable, dunno if it's the same api though):
There is the code in the description and I made comments on what did and did not work.

edit:
Damn I miss those RP lights :p.

Tell me about it. I had a railway setup between my main base and my wizards tower, with an MFE cart ferrying power on the same line. I set up red and green lights that changed state depending on whether or not the various carts were in motion. I even set it up to hold carts if one or the other was in motion.

I believe elevators only need power to lift carts. Set up a detector a short distance ahead of the track, running into a repeater, set to hold the signal long enough for the track to lift you.

Or just put a button on the wall. Enter cart, press button.
