So i'm trying to make my code change redstone.setOutput on or off depening if my tank is full or not.
When i start my program and my tank is full it will keep redstone off, but if i take some liquid out of my tank it still says it's full with 720000 inside it.
Not sure what i'm doing wrong so i hope someone can help me spot the problem. I'm new to computercraft.

local valve = peripheral.wrap("left")
local tableInfo = valve.getTanks("unknown")
while true do

  for k, v in pairs(tableInfo) do
    for x, y in pairs(v) do
      if x == "amount" then
        if (y == 720000) then
          redstone.setOutput("right", false)
        elseif (y < 720000) then
          redstone.setOutput("right", true)
        end
      end
    end
  end
  os.sleep(10)
end

So my code is there, but whenever my liquid gets below 720000 it doesn't turn on redstone signal, and if i stop the program and start it again it will fine actiave the redstone signal, but then when the tank is full it wont turn it off again

You initialize tableInfo outside the while loop. So it will always check the same result, instead of getting a new result. Move tableInfo = valve.getTanks("unknown") in to the while loop.
