I am using some delicious peripheral wrapping code provided in another post by Lyqyd

function wrapAll(type)
  local wrapped, names = {}, {}
  for _, name in ipairs(peripheral.getNames()) do
	if peripheral.getType(name) == type then
	  table.insert(names, name)
	end
  end
  for _, fn in ipairs(peripheral.getMethods(names[1])) do
	wrapped[fn] = function(...)
	  local returns = {}
	  for i = 1, #names do
		returns[i] = peripheral.call(names[i], fn, ...)
	  end
	  return returns
	end
  end
  return wrapped
end

which I am using on IC2 batboxes, batbox = wrapAll("batbox") That works all fine and dandy,

I wrote a quick thing to get its energy,

test = batbox.getEUStored()
  for k,v in pairs(test) do
   print(v)
	end

Which outputs the energy of all 24(yes, 24 batboxes) properly. The issue is, that insane amount of info is hard to display on a monitor, so i wanted to coalesce the energy outputs of each batbox, sadly I don't know how to do so in the required for loop.



Any help is of course appreciated, credit for all above code goes to LYQYD

Your monitor will likely have plenty of columns, so I suppose you could use those to draw a bar chart. Calculate a percentage of how full each batbox is, and draw a line from the bottom of the screen leading up X% of the way to the top.

Either that or just print an average, I suppose. Or even just "(combined energy) / (total storage)".

It was my intention to combine all of the power and show a percentage of total power out of total capacity, but I don't know how to combine the energy readings, not with how they're presented

Just replace the print with something else:

totalEU = 0
test = batbox.getEUStored ()
for _, v in pairs do
  totalEU = totalEU + v
end
print (totalEU)
