Those give me







This one could probably say something, but how do I write it to a file like you did just now. It returns so much at once.



Bump: found this under getStaclnSlot(1)

I got a blood orb in the altar so this seem to work.

As for what I'm thinking here, lets check out

drive.getStackInSlot(1) --# IT actually occurs to me, this probably gives us the exact table that allStacks does, but only the [1] table.
and
drive.getAllStacks()[1].listMethods("properties")
And maybe
drive.getInventoryName()

Running the drive.getStackInSlot(1) and then printing the ID part of the table seem to give me the correct ID of what is in the slot. But running this and taking something out gives me 216.

while true do

tbl = drive.getStackInSlot(1)
message = tbl.id
print(message)
sleep(0.2)
end

From here on out I'm pretty sure i now know what I need to finish this and make it faster, and need no clunky BC pipes and redpower wiring. I kinda led you on a wild goose chase there, but I learned a thing or two about how tables work. ^^ Though why does it return 216 and stops the program when nothing is in the altar?

216 sounds like it's just either nothing, or the altar's numerical id. With that information though, that means that you can easily know what's inside.

local item = drive.getStackInSlot(1)
if type(item) ~= "table" then --#HA! I remembered the " 's
  print(item.id)
  print(item.qty) --#The amount inside.
end

I guess I'll just have to make sure I never use getStackInSlot while nothing is inside the altar. Or else the program stops. But I have no need to do so either, so np for me. Thank you very much dragon. Now onto the rewriting.

You could use a pcall to prevent erroring from happening.
Here is an example:

st,er = pcall(turtle.getStackInSlot,value)
if er then
-- Yay, no broken program.
else
val = turtle.getStackInSlot(value)
end

First, good catch, second, your code can be shortened to this:

local noError,returnVal = pcall(drive.getStackInSlot,1)
if noError then
  --#There was no error, returnVal is now your table, in which it's good.
end

Tiny question: If I wrap a peripheral and then turn a turtle, then turn it back to the original position. Do I then need to rewrap the peripherals?

No you don't have to rewrap the peripherals.
