Hello,

I'm searching for a while now how to get the pressure from Pneumaticcraft.

On the website of the mod there is are some commands listed:

-getPressure(), getPressure(<side>) – Will get the pressure in the block. The side parameter is an optional parameter, and is currently only useful when getting the pressure from a Vacuum Pump, as it contains two different pressures.
-getDangerPressure() – This is a constant, it’ll be 5 bar for tier one machines, and 20 for tier two.
-getCriticalPressure() – This is a constant, it’ll be 7 bar for tier two machines, and 25 for tier two."

If I run the getPressure() thing i get the "attempt to call nil" error.

Thanks in advance,

We've had this problem on the forums before. The problem is that it's only possible with machines (as far as I am concerned) and to read the pressure from a pipe, you need to use the Pressure Gauge Tubes (as far as I know, I do not play with the mod) and convert the redstone signal to the pressure. In the tool-tip of the pipe it says the formula.

I messed with CC 1.57 and the latest pneumatic craft myself, for some reason it hasn't worked at all ( for me ). Thus said, I'm pretty sure it's pneumatic craft's fault.

local comp = peripheral.wrap("left") --#duh, wrap a machine (specifically, I wrapped a compresser since the wiki directly says the method is available.
print( comp.getPressure() )  --#try this...

result: attempt to call nil O.o

Every machine running on compressed air
You can get the following info from any PneumaticCraft block that runs on compressed air (including the Air Compressor, Pressure Tube):
-getPressure(), getPressure(<side>) – Will get the pressure in the block. The side parameter is an optional parameter, and is currently only useful when getting the pressure from a Vacuum Pump, as it contains two different pressures.
-getDangerPressure() – This is a constant, it’ll be 5 bar for tier one machines, and 20 for tier two.
-getCriticalPressure() – This is a constant, it’ll be 7 bar for tier two machines, and 25 for tier two.
