Need help with crafting upgrade

[wbrown2wmb 0]

What i'm attempting to do i use the robot to craft fireworks. I want it to take items from a chest, craft the stars then craft the rocket and put it in a different chest.  I have no clue as where to start. I program in VB mostly so lua is a new beast for me.

 

Any help with sample code would be appreciated as my searches didn't return much on using the crafting upgrade. Also is it possible to write the code on a computer and send it wirelessly to the robot?

 

I crafted  robot and computer with wireless cards but still need to make them communicate.

 

Thanks.

Please check out the wiki before posting here.

I had a look and this is what i found.

 

General stuff:

http://ocdoc.cil.li/api

 

How to controll the robot

How to arrange items in an inventory

You should also look for some lua tutorials if you are not familiar with it.

I already have done all that. I have all the API code save in a word document. I read the wiki and it gives all the BASIC commands. I can make the robot go up, down and sideways.

 

I build databases and web apps for a living. I'm just not familiar with the lua language and was asking for guidance. Nowhere have I seen any code on how to make the robot actually craft anything other than in the crafting API.

Slots are ordered 1,16 with one inventory upgrade. the first row being slots 1-4. crafting takes place in slots 1-3,5-7,9-11.  The other slots are for the relevant materials to be used. the other nine slots remain open for valid crafting recipes

Thank you.

 

Built my robot and was testing the commands and I've run into a problem. My robot will not recognize robot.turnleft() or other commands except forward, back, up and down. I get this error:

 

stdin:1: attempt to call field 'turnleft' (a nil value)

stack traceback

kernel:137: in function turnleft

stdin:1: in main chunk

[c]: in function 'xpcall' /bin/lua.lua:62 in min chunk (..tail calls..)

 

I have no clue as to what is causing the error.

Shouldn't it read robot.turnLeft() capitol L

Shouldn't it read robot.turnLeft() capitol L

yes, generally all functions (parts after the " . ") are camelCased (where first letter of first word is lower case and the rest are capitals)
