Hello, I would like to display whats in an inventory because I am trying to use CC alot as I have never used it (or lua) before. I am using 8 cyclic assemblers from Thermal Expansion and want to see there contents with ComputerCraft, Running DW20 1.7.10 pack with computercraft 1.65. Thanks in advanced.

To the best of my knowledge, the mod that'd allow the sort of functionality you're after - that being OpenPeripherals - still hasn't been updated to work alongside your more recent mod collection.

I'm starting to wonder if it'll update at all.

It might be worth giving OpenCCSensors a shot if the goal is to read the contents of inventories.

… aaand this might be a good point to clarify whether "inventories" means "player inventories" or "inventories in general".

Tile entities implementing IInventory as well as entities with inventories implemented in the usual fashion.

In other words, yes.

Yea I am looking to show the contents of not player inventories, just inventories of blocks ie chest. I will see what OpenCCSensors can do what I want it to, if so Ill edit this post:)

EDIT: Just looked at OpenCCSensors, it does not seem to be updated to 1.7.10 and the pack seems to have OpenPeripheralsCore and OpenPeripheralsAddons, not sure what they do but If there is any code I can use to see what is in a chest next to the computer, or maybe connected to network pipes or anything really.

There may not be an official release build yet, but the alpha build in the last page of the topic seems to be working fine for most people, with only a few issues with IC2 support reported so far,
