Hey guys! Does anyone have any documentation on how to use the computer module from RF tools? I cannot find anything at all!

What I want to do is simply print some stuff on an RFTools screen from a CC computer but I have no idea how to wrap the peripheral.

RF tools has an ingame book, is there anything in there?

If it doesn't, you're better off asking in the official RFTools thread. That mod provides its own ComputerCraft functionality.

The book has nothing about the computer module at all. I will take a look at the official RFTools thread and post back here if I find anything.

Thanks

Actually, silly question, but what's this "screen" thing you're talking about? Have you checked to see if the usage is the same as a regular CC monitor?

It isn't, I used it briefly. If I recall correctly, you need to wrap to the Screen Controller thing. At that point, I just explored the methods exposed. Granted, this was at least a year ago.

So the computer needs to be next to the screen controller? I will continue to have a fiddle

UPDATE:
I got a response on the RFTools website:

I assume this is for 1.7.10? You have to place a computer next to the screen controller. And then you can do the commands like addtext() and so on. This should be documented better. I will do that once I start re-implementing CC/OC support in the 1.9.4/1.10 versions

OH SNAP!!
