how does the table.use signal work when right-clicking blocks

"Added: Right-clicking blocks with tablet in hand will now allow components to populate a data table. If any is given, a tablet_use signal is sent to the tablet, with the data passed as a table as the only parameter for the signal. Components providing data are the geolyzer and navigation upgrade for now."

 

I've tried some test code like this; http://pastebin.com/Jp4yDnMu I do not seem to get any tablet_use signals when clicking on the powered geolyzer. I've also tried registering a event.listen and such. And tried adding a navigation upgrade to a new tablet but got no signals either.

 

What i really want is to communicate with a device/block having a computerCraft interface using a tablet. But i guess that is not possible yet. As i understand, this mechanism only allows to read a dataTable from the device.

 

Anyway i still would like to know how this works, anyone got a idea?

The signal will only be queued if there are any components that actually populate the table with information, so for now when you have a geolyzer or nav upgrade built into your tablet. When that's the case, hold right-click while targeting the block until you hear the beep, that's when the signal is queued.

Ok, so hold the right-click and put the geolyzer inside the tablet as a upgrade. I've placed the geolyzer as a block in the world. :facepalm: Who would have thought such a big block would fit inside a tablet!

Hint: have the page in the NEI item list with the OC items open when you're in the assembler GUI, it'll highlight whatever item fits into the slot hovered by your cursor. So if you hover an upgrade slot it'll highlight all upgrades that can go into that slot.

 

And yeah, Minecraft logic. Who'd have thought a stack of chests would fit inside a chest
