'''ccSensors''' is a user created peripheral by Yoskaz01, which adds sensors to ComputerCraft. It provides readings from the Minecraft surroundings to lua programs.
 +
A reading can be a value a simple as Light level, a isRaining, isDay or as complex as the content of a chest or the temperature of IC2 reactor.

This mod is 1.2.5 ONLY! It is very out-of-date! Documentation is ripped from source code. Information is provided "as-is" with no guarantee of accuracy.


ccSensors is a user created peripheral by Yoskaz01, which adds sensors to ComputerCraft. It provides readings from the Minecraft surroundings to lua programs. A reading can be a value a simple as Light level, a isRaining, isDay or as complex as the content of a chest or the temperature of IC2 reactor.

Getting Started

  1. place a Sensor Controller next to a computer
  2. open the sensor Controller GUI and hit the "New" button to register a new freq
  3. place blank transmitter card in the slot and click "Encode Transmitter" to get an encoded transmitter to be used with the remote sensor.
  4. Place a Remote Sensor (can be placed anywhere) and put the transmitter card in the bottom slot. (you can rename the Remote Sensor from the default name "Sensor")
  5. Place a SensorModule card into the top slot.
  6. open the computer terminal and run: /ccSensors/console to run the sample console program. That's it - you now have a working sensor connected to a computer :)

API: sensors

Note: Documentation is ripped from source code. Information is provided "as-is" with no guarantee of accuracy.
