I'm playing FTB Direwolf and would like to know what options I have to print out power levels to a monitor. For example, can I use a computer to print out the power status of a leadstone energy cell from thermal expansion or some other power source?
The idea would be to print out power levels from distant locations without having to trek back and forth.
Thanks in advance!

Im not familiar with the Direwolf pack, but the mod openP is pretty much your only option for doing this.

Thank you! That was fast. Right after I posted this I reworded my search and saw the http://www.openperipheral.info/
For others that see this in their search, FTB Direwolf has the openP with it. http://www.computerc...openperipheral/
Thanks again CometWolf!

It's not technically the only option, but it is the option that doesn't require adding extra mods to the pack. OpenCCSensors can also detect energy levels in redstone energy cells.

Lyqyd would know, seeing as he's one of the authors of OCS >.>

I thought they have been merged...

Nope. Much of the functionality of OCS was included in OpenPeripheral when Mikee decided to take a different path, but they were not merged. OCS still exists as its own mod, distinct from OpenPeripheral.

In the case of later Thermal Expansion cells, I gather they produce an analogue redstone signal (readable via redstone.getAnalogInput()) of strength proportional to the energy percentage stored. At least, they work with comparators.
This won't give you an "exact" figure as to how full a cell is, but it's an option that doesn't require any mods outside of ComputerCraft / TE. That said, depending on the version of your pack you likely already have a suitable version of OpenPeripheral handy.
