So I have a crafting system all set up in conjunction to my sorting system. Question is: Is there a way to "wire" it up so that I can see exactly how many of each item I can craft? Right now it only shows 0 even though physically have the capacity to make said item :)

In what context? Do you mean to have it display on a screen or just in general?

Also I am guessing you are seeing the "0" when right clicking on a request pipe with a wrench, which opens the whole ordering interface. Those "0"s would be indicating how many of them in the system storage you have, not how many you can craft. So for example if you have it rigged up to make furnaces, it would definitely show you 4 bajillion cobble but no furnaces unless you made one and had it stored in the system storage.

As for wiring it up, I know that people have written computercraft packages for red power and IC2, so I imagine it should be possible to take inputs/outputs from a logistics pipe, but it is going to be a little awkward code wise because of the multi-functionality of Logistics pipes. Ignoring the chassis, almost any pipe in the logistics network can behave like any other pipe under the right circumstances. Pulling information from that would make it a nightmare. On the other hand, it would also make it really easy to tap in to. For example with a wireless ordering device, any logistics pipe, even a basic, can become an ordering terminal.
