tconstruct smeltery

Hello! I am trying to make a program that gets the contents of a Tinker's construct smeltery, Sadly the documentation found here doesn't seem to work(unless I am doing something terribly wrong or using the wrong version)
The error given was attempt to call nil on line 2
my very limited test code

tinkers' version 1.5.1
cc version 1.58
openperipherals version 0.2.1
modpack: FTB Tech World 2


Any info/assistance is greatly appreciated

Occured to me I should add the error, added to OP

looks like you dont, declare the side of which the tank are on?

LINE: 2:
local tabinf = pwrap.getTanks("unknown") — should be the side of the peripheral



Im not sure if thats the main problem, else i dont know how to solve this

I tried both ways, sadly to no avail

What you did wrong is "pwrap.getTanks()" is not a part of computercraft. a better way to do it is:

local tabinf = peripheral.wrap("right") -- you can change the side 

Hmm, Now when i've looked a bit closer, and didn't find a solution i just want to note that as the error says, its attempting to call the
pwrap.getTanks("left")
which is nil… I have no idea why… Maybe you're not using the latest version etc?

Method has changed going from 1.5.2 to 1.6.4. It is now .getTankInfo(TankSide)

local tabinf = pwrap.getTankInfo("unknown")

Whole lots of things have changed with new OpenPeripherals, but every peripheral also lets you print all the methods it can use with

peripheralvar.listMethods()

Use this instead of listMethods:

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

peripheral.getMethods is actually part of ComputerCraft. I still haven't heard any good reasons for the inclusion of listMethods.

I actually did what Lyqyd suggested slightly earlier but haven't been able to report back as of yet, This worked.. Sadly it gives a meta table(i think) and i'm not sure how to handle this,it gives two results "1" and

"net.minecraftforge.fluids.FluidTankInfo@38b3430b"

You have to update your OpenPeripherals. http://openmods.info:8080/job/OpenPeripheral/

Works perfectly after updating, thank you!
