Wiring problems

[Poppycocks]

So, I've been workin' on my factory today

Spoiler

Spent a whole lot of time makin' my office look posh

Spoiler

But I hit a snag while making the elevators to my wondrous office.

Spoiler

I can't seem to get the signal from the buttons (levers for testing in the picture) to the other side of the frame, where I want to place my wireless transmitters.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could go about doing that?

no idea... But I like your big chair. Man is there nothing micro blocks cant make look cooler?

if I am seeing right, you are having the levers (buttons) move with the elevator? from what I tested, redstone signals wont transfer through frames sadly

Actually yeah, I've seen one guy use them for everything. It was all very.. hm, off.
I actually wish I could have a brain-in-jar in a real office, damn, that would make talking to employees a laugh and a half .

Yeah, that's what I'd like. Enter the elevator, hit the button, one goes up, the other goes down. There is a way to do it, with jacketed cables, but man, does it look butt ugly.

I only with you could place levers on hollow covers. Then I could exchange the lamps for more frames and it'd work and still look at least so-so, but no dice.

im not sure, but you could try using a redstone tube frame. ive not tested it but it might work.

Righty-o guys, this is the best I could come up with:

Spoiler

The nice part is that the button ain't turnin' the lamp off anymore .

Got a new problem now though, the button, redwire, one jacketed wire and the transmitter don't stick, what gives?
The affected sides have been covered in covers, turns out stuff only sticks onto panels. (Frames noob here)

The memory I use is Panels are a Pain and Covers are Convenient. Mostly because when I was playing with moving frames started with panels and stuff just did not work until I figured out the whole Panels stick Covers slide thing.

Yeah, it's useful once you figure it out, but it sure got me flumoxed for a second there.

New question! I think I've read somewhere that I can wrap wireless senders/receivers as peripherals in computercraft. My lua didn't cuss at me for trying so that seems to work, how do I use them now though? Can't seem to find a reference sheet =\.

Solved that as well. For anyone interested:
receiver = peripheral.wrap("side") //for example "left" or "right"
local i=receiver.getFreq() //stores the frequency in i
receiver.setFreq(i) //sets the frequency to i

after that you just do redstone.setOutput("side", true) or whatever and there you go.
