Can I with computercraft check when a item pass on a Logistic Pipes tube and send info to a monitor?

I want to make a monitor on my world that when I ask something to the system, it says:
Info: 5 Redstone (for example)
Status: getting out of the chest
the status will change when the item pass in some places like (In the tubes, coming and get in)
Is this possible?

That would depend on the pipes. If you stick a computer next to one and enter peripheral.getNames() into the Lua console, are the pipes detected? If not, then can the pipes be configured to generate redstone signals or something? If the answers to those questions are both "no", then you won't be able to do this directly.

If you've got OpenPeripherals installed, however, you should be able to monitor chest contents though.
