I want to read no joke 100 mfsu and display current power over max.

is there a way to read them all at once or do i need to write a program that takes the current value for each mfsu current power assign it to a variable then add them all up.

local euSense = sensor.wrap("top") --# change to sensor side.
while true do
  local total, totalCap = 0, 0
  for target in pairs(euSense.getTargets()) do
    if target.Capacity == 10000000 then
      total = total + target.Stored
	  totalCap = totalCap + target.Capacity
    end
  end
  print(total.." / "..totalCap)
  sleep(0.5)
end

If you want it to only do it once, take out the very last end, the while true do, and the sleep.

Methinks 100 MFSUs might be overkill, yes? An Adjustable Energy Storage Unit holds 10x what they do, while a Inter-Dimensional Storage Unit stores 100x.

i get an error. startup:1: attempt to index ? (a nil value) and yes my sensor is on top

You need to add os.loadAPI('ocs/apis/sensor') above the sensor.wrap

all you get its a loop of 0/0

That's because I did it wrong! Give this a shot:

os.loadAPI("ocs/apis/sensor")
local euSense = sensor.wrap("top") --# change to sensor side.
while true do
    local total, totalCap = 0, 0
    for target in pairs(euSense.getTargets()) do
        local details = euSense.getTargetDetails(target)
        if details.Capacity == 10000000 then
            total = total + details.Stored
            totalCap = totalCap + details.Capacity
        end
    end
    print(total.." / "..totalCap)
    sleep(0.5)
end
