Is there a video that explains in simple terms how to instruct machines over a network to manufacture specific items?

Connect a wire to the machine, set the machine to "set recipe". It will try to craft the item you send as a signal.

And that's where simple ends.

Using the Assembler on the Network in conjunction with a Constant Combinator to determine which production needs to switch materials can be less straightforward. There are potential pitfalls to be aware of. Fortunately, I found a video tutorial that provides a comprehensive explanation of the functionality.
