Trying to hack my way through.. ;)

A lot of the example code use some pretty interesting ways to display text and graphs usually on advanced computers.

I'm just trying to print a variable ;)/>

What am I doing wrong here? Either the variable is empty, or I'm doing something syntactically incorrect.. ;)/>

(It's my first program that actually does something)

Thanks for any help.

call the function

local power = batbox.getStored()

edit: You may also want to add that into your while loop so the variable keeps updating with the current powerr

local power = batbox.getStored() sets power to a number
Where you have print(power), change it to print(power())

Yeah I've made those changes (including adding it to the while loop) but am now getting an error:
test:5: attempt to call nil

You may be using a newer version of OpenPeripheral, use getEUStored or getStoredEU (I can't remember which way around it is)

No worries thanks for the heads up.

(That may have been my original issue as I was originally copying code from oldish posts).

Something weird going on, I am on an FTB server for 1.6.4 - latest version which came out last week - I'd imagine it's not using a version of OpenP that's too cutting edge given the 1.6.4 nature of it though.

I also tried MFSU Monitor here:

This is giving me the same issue.

Having written something to return the methods the correct method seems to be "getEUStored", however I'm still getting the attempt to call nil from that above program.

Finally got this working, thanks for all the help - onto the next iterations - I'll be back when I've made it 50 times more complicated lol
