Odds are all you'd need to change is the first line; instead of peripheral.find("monitor"), use peripheral.wrap("whatever side your monitor is on").

Eg:

local monitors = {peripheral.wrap("top")}

Or if you've got more than one monitor, you might do:

local monitors = {peripheral.wrap("top"), peripheral.wrap("left")}

So for example:


local m = peripheral.wrap("top")
m.print("Test")

@Mining_Pickaxe not only will that not work, it's not what he was asking for in the first place, and will error rather embarrassingly if you run it.
