This framework was from the very first peripheral I made, it should work as I don't believe the API has changed.

Note #1: Doesn't use Forge Sprites/Textures
Note #2: Change everything to your own Names
Note #3: If this is too hard to understand, you SHOULDN'T be making a peripheral.

I see I am a longer way from making a PDA that i thought I am />

[Hackingroelz]

I''ve made my first peripheral. I know it works since peripheral.isPresent() returns true, but I have no idea how to call a method that I made. Could somebody explain this to me?

[Casper7526]

peripheral.getMethods(side)
peripheral.call(side, method)

How can I make a function or something to make the peripheral do something?

See the TileEntityName.class example? In the getMethodNames() function it has an array of strings, the example has a single function "test". Say you wanted some functions for changing the block color, in that array you could create the functions setColorRed(), setColorGreen() like this:

public String[] getMethodNames()
	    {
	    return (new String[] { "setColorRed", "setColorGreen" });
	    }

Then in the call method function you can respond to them:

public Object[] callMethod(IComputerAccess icomputeraccess, int i, Object aobj[])
	    throws Exception
	    {
	    if (i == 0)
	    {
	    // Do logic for the setColorRed() function
	    } else if (i == 1) {
	    // Do logic for the setColorGreen() function
	    }
	    return null;
	    }

I believe "i" is the index of the function name in the array.
Note:You do all the peripheral programming in Java, not LUA.
