Hello Pro's!

im makeing a turtle aka computer shop, right now at the moment im working on the turtle only, and it kinda works sometimes.. but mostly not ..

i was hopeing you could tell me my error here

link: http://pastebin.com/N2ZYCeLs

Spoiler

rednet.open("right")
local item = turtle.getItemCount(1)
local comp = turtle.compareTo(16)

function ok()
local id, msg = rednet.receive()
 if id == 177 then
  if msg == "ok" then
   turtle.select(1)
   run()
  end
 end
end

function run()
  turtle.suckDown()
   if comp == true then
    if item < 32 then
     print("lower")
     turtle.dropDown()
    elseif item > 32 then
     print("over")
     turtle.transferTo(2,32)
      turtle.dropDown()
     turtle.select(2)
     turtle.dropUp()
    elseif item == 32 then
     print("equal")
     turtle.dropUp()
    end
   else
  print("Error Wrong item.")
  turtle.dropDown()
end
  end

run()
while true do
ok()
sleep(1)
end

The error is that, it keeps saying "Error Wrong item." and, the item is gold and it should return true :S and execute one of the actions,
could you help me, then i will appreciate it alot!, thanks in advance!

Based on the way your program acts, it's obvious that comp is false. That brings up two questions:

• Which slot of your turtle is selected when you run this program and what's in it?
  
• What's in slot #16?

Slot 1 is selected when it boots up, and when it receives the "ok" then it selects slots 1 again to be safe.
- slot 16 is a gold ingot
and it pulls up gold ingots

Aha... Thing is, the first slot is checked only once - and that's when the turtle boots up, when it sopposedly has no gold in its first slot. If that's the case, put the slot-checking part into run.

function run()
 turtle.suckDown()
  if comp == true then

its being run every time it has received the message "ok" in the ok() function oO

- Not sure what you mean tho :/

[LBPHacker]

Try

if turtle.compareTo(16) then

instead of

if comp == true then

Believe me; in the original code, you call turtle.compareTo only once.

Hmm... That made it go on to equal and not the above :/ damn it .. i had it yesterday in a much more messy code and now i lost it so i cant even go back and check xD Damn me!

EDIT: I figured it out, i had to type it insted of makeing a shortcut Sorry

But this part:

local comp = turtle.compareTo(16)

is being run only once, at the start.
