Applied Energistics Methods

I was looking for the peripherals used to control applied energistics with computercraft computers but when I made a simple script for the computer to print the peripherals I cant see them all. I need a way to page up or find a way to print this in a text document so I can see the rest.

Without seeing the code you're using to get and print that list, it's difficult to comment.

So probably the easiest advice to give is to dump into a file. Works like this:

local myFile = fs.open("filename","w") -- Open a file called "filename" in write mode, accessible via the variable "myFile".

myFile.write("some text")           -- The write function works much like "term.write()".
myFile.writeLine("some more text")  -- The writeLine function works much like "print()".

myFile.close()  -- When you're done with the file.

You should be able to alter your current code to use file writes instead of regular prints/writes without much issue.

An easier solution for quick reference is, in the Lua prompt:

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

Replacing "side" with the actual side/peripheral name, of course. If you want to save the list of available functions for later, you should indeed write it to a file like Bomb Bloke suggests.

I might use this later but I was just looking for a single peripheral so Lyqyd's solution was easier.. Thanks anyway.

This worked very well. Thanks.

OK, now that I have the method I was looking for I cant seem to get it working.

a = peripheral.wrap("left")
a.requestCrafting("2750")

I get this error.


2750 is the id im trying to request crafting.

I believe at some point you have to specify how many you want crafted. Which means that most likely you should probably use:
a.requestCrafting(1,2750)

I got the same error but the error included the item count also.

Try this

a.requestCrafting({id=2750,qty=1})
