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
- place a Sensor Controller next to a computer
- open the sensor Controller GUI and hit the "New" button to register a new freq
- place blank transmitter card in the slot and click "Encode Transmitter" to get an encoded transmitter to be used with the remote sensor.
- 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")
- Place a SensorModule card into the top slot.
- 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 :)

| Method name | Description |
|---|---|
| getVersion() | sensorAPI version |
| getPeripherals() | returns a dict of attached peripherals : SensorController,monitor,modem |
| getController() | return the side the first controller is attached at |
| rIterator( table ) | Intended for internal use only. |
| tabtodict( table ) | Intended for internal use only. |
| getReadingAsTable( side, sensor, ... ) | return sensor reading as a table instead of a dict |
| setTarget( side, sensor, target ) | set the active target for a given sensor |
| setSensorRange( side, sensor, range ) | set the sensor range (as long is <= max_sensor_range) |
| getAvailableReadings( side, sensor ) | returns names of all readings available for a given sensor |
| setActiveReading( side, sensor, reading ) | set the active reading to be used when getReading is called |
| getAvailableTargets( side, sensor ) | returns the available targets for a given sensor |
| getAvailableTargetsforProbe( side, sensor, probe ) | UNDOCUMENTED |
| getAvailableTargetsforProbe2( side, sensor, probe ) | UNDOCUMENTED |
| getProbe( side, sensor ) | returns a table of the available probes (eg: TargetInfo, LivingEntities, Players) |
| getSensorInfo( side, sensor, ... ) | returns the following information for a given sensor:
cardType, ActiveReadingID, Distance, Name, ActiveReading, ShortName, SensorRange, yCoord, zCoord, xCoord |
| getSensorInfoAsTable( side, sensor, ... ) | same as getSensorInfo, except as a table |
| getReading( side, sensor, ... ) | returns sensor reading in a dict of reading,value pairs |
| getReading2( side, sensor, probe, target, ... ) | returns sensor reading in a dict of reading,value pairs |
| getSensors( side ) | returns the names of all connected sensors |
| getSensorReadingAsDict(side,sensor,target,probe,...) | get a reading while setting the target and reading type for a given sensor. returns a dictionary [working] |
| getSensorReadingAsDict2(side, sensor, probe, target, ...) | Alias for getReading2 |
| getSensorReadingAsTable( side, sensor, target, reading, ...) | get a reading while setting the target and reading type for a given sensor |
| getItemInfo(name,content) | return item info from an inventory dictionary |
| getItemsInfo(names,content) | returns a dict for each item in the given names table with .dmg and .qty |
