Logistics Pipes API

How does this work? http://rs485.thezorro266.com/wiki/ComputerCraft_API

Can you elaborate a bit more?
What is your problem with it… etc…

I want to request items using a request pipe.

pipe = peripheral.wrap( "left" ) --#wraps the pipe
pipe.makeRequest( 1, 64 ) --#gets 1 stack of the item with the item ID 1.  In this case, stone.

*note: I have no experience doing this, this is just my understanding of the wiki page.

Okay. Ill check. It seemed like it wanted special ids

plus how do u use damage values?

and also, it doesnt work :P/>

Well, since the individual functions are not documented… I can't understand this much.
returns function
number peripheral.getItemDamage( number )
inferred usage:
peripheral.getItemDamage( number )
where peripheral is the appropriate wrapped peripheral.
additionally,
peripheral.call( side, "getItemDamage", "number" )
will most likely work.

check if you are actually getting the pipe as a peripheral
open lua prompt
lua> peripheral.getMethods( side )
should print a list of stuff you can do with that peripheral.

I think it's an openperipheral thing, since I just added that, but now none of those methods are there. :P/>

Yeah, OpenPeripherals override the Pipes' default methods.
You will need to add LogisticsPipe in the blacklist in "OpenPeripheralCore.cfg"

In v0.3.3 you indeed need to add the pipes to the blacklist. My program Computed Magic (can be found here) uses that API to request mana beans. As far as I understand my own code, it requests the NBT tag because that is the Unique Item Identifier that you need to request it. That program was built around version 0.13 in which this problem does not exist.
