[MiscPeriphals] GateReader

How can i get a turtle to read a Gate conditional ?
I wanted to automate quarry and for that i wanted a turtle to wait for "Work Done".
I didn't find a tutorial for the mod.

Have you tried playing around with its peripheral methods? Stuff like that isn't usually too hard to figure out from the peripheral method names. Run this in the Lua prompt, replacing "side" with the actual side (like "right"):

textutils.tabulate(peripheral.getMethods("side"))

That should show you a list of methods you can experiment further with.

Thx ^^
Didn't know there was something like getMethods ^^

Edit: I tried it know but it doesn't show things for MiscPeriphals :(/>

Every single peripheral implemented by Computercraft itself or an addon has a getMethods() function, so you can create a program which will give you the methods for the peripheral you enter:

write("Peripheral Side: ")
side = read()
print("Listing methods for "..side)
print(textutils.tabulate(peripheral.call(side, "getMethods")))

When you run this you can get the methods for any peripheral including through the use of wired modems.

Um, no. It's peripheral.getMethods(side), not peripheral.call(side, "getMethods"). The peripheral.getMethods call is separate, and not in the set of methods available from the peripheral itself, but rather is part of the peripheral API.

Well I use that technique, I guess both work. peripheral.getMethods is probably best though.

(peripheral).getMethods()

is added by OpenPeripherals IIRC

Thanks for the information, I didn't know it came from OpenPeripheral (I use OpenPeripheral to monitor my machines).

OpenPeripheral's silly alternative is called "listMethods". It's best not to get in the habit of using it, since it's the wrong way to get the list of peripheral methods.

I tried everything of this but the MiscPeriphal stuff isn't being displayed :(/>
