I have been trying to write a program in CC for about an hour now, but to no avail. I am trying to create a monitoring system for my mob farm, which can show me how many of certain items are in my ME system, and allow me to turn on the powered spawners if I have to many of one item (which I can do with redstone.) Would there be a way to do this? Any help would be appreciated!

If you have openP or another mod which adds compat for AE you should be able to do this.

You haven't said what you've tried already so I will make the assumption that you haven't tried this:

I believe an ME interface is the peripheral you need to access the ME system, as KingofGamesYami said, you will need OpenPeripherals as AE doesn't provide support for CC.

You may want to use this program to see the documentation for the ME interface: http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/topic/25280-opdoc-gui-documentation-browser-for-openperipheral/

The above program will only work with OpenPeripheral.


Alternatively, you could use level emitters.

I am extremely new to computercraft, so I don't really know what I am doing. I have made an me interface to connect to the computer, but how do I actually connect it? opendoc isnt showing anything when I start it.

What mods do you have installed?

Im running the direwolf20 1.7.10 pack, with Powersuits uninstalled because of a crashing issue. I do have open peripherals, and I don't know if this makes a difference but i am playing on a server.

Can you post a screenshot of your setup? We'll need to see the computer and the blocks near it.

It wouldn't let me upload it as an image for some reason. The only blocks next to the computer are an me interface and a monitor.
