-As of OC 1.3 there is a tier two redstone card. The tier one Redstone Card only supports vanilla redstone functionality (single-line analog redstone). Tier two provides interoperation with other mods' redstone systems (bundled, wireless). For bundled input/​output ​the following mods are supported: RedLogic, Project Red (with Version ​ 1.1), MineFactory Reloaded.

 +===get* and set* method overloads=== 
 + 
 +Starting in patch release 1.7.3 the redstone component provides overloaded flavors of `getInput`, `getOuput`, `setInput`, `getBundledInput`,​ `getBundledOutput`,​ and `setBundledOutput`. 
 + 
 +===get* and set* call costs=== 
 + 
 +The **get** methods are "​direct"​ calls and are practically free. From testing I was able to call `getInput` 20,000 to 22,000 times per second. 
 + 
 +The **set** methods are not "​direct",​ and thus can only be called once per tick, at most. Thus, ~20 times per second. In addition to their indirect cost (consuming the rest of the tick) if the **set** call changes any output levels, there is an additional delay imposed on the machine. By default **set** calls can change outputs approximately 6 times per second. 
 + 
 +One of the significant advantages of using these overloaded variants is that any api call cost is paid once per call, not once per each value set.

 + 
 +  Note that the table returned is zero based. That is because the keys of the table are the ordinal values of the sides, and `sides.bottom` is 0.   
 +
