Computercraft and TE3

[Sir_Obama]

Is there a way to monitor the amount of RF in a Redstone Energy Cell with computercraft? I tried a power sensor, but it doesn't seem to work with thermal expansion 3. Any work arounds?

open peripherals is part of tekkit IIRC, which means you can access things like TE energy cells directly as peripherals.  just did this the other day myself to control turning my big reactors reactor on/off when needed.

[Sir_Obama]

really? that's good to hear, have to try that out later!

The code I am using for this..

c1 = peripheral.wrap("direction")

c1level = c1.getEnergyStored("direction")

Comparators can measure rough percentages of power in cells as well, and are cheaper and easier to use.

[Sir_Obama]

I actually find computercraft easier to use 

[rogueclon946]

Well, whatever works for you. Comparators are a viable option too though.

cell = peripheral.wrap(SIDE)
power = cell.getEnergyStored("")
capacity = cell.getMaxEnergyStored("")

I don't know why, but the "" thing as parameter is (was ?) required

it wants a side in that slot.  not 100% sure why though.  in my little script I just gave it the side the peripheral was on ("bottom" in this case).  seems to work fine.
