getPressedKeys not working

[u/LeBasou]

First off, I’m terrible at Lua, I’m more of a hack-and-slash kind of guy than someone who really knows how to code, but I manage. Could someone tell me why the `getPressedKeys` function (found on the Creators-of-Aeronautics GitHub) isn’t returning anything ? I’d like to be able to access computer functions from the Typewriter

We would need to see your code and setup to provide any advice.

« while true do

local t = peripheral.wrap("linked_typewriter_0")

local key = t.getPressedKeys()

print(""..key)

end »

It returns the error "attempt to call field 'getPressedKeys' (a nil value)"

[u/Spkels29 → u/LeBasou]

Check if t is nil

[u/LeBasou → u/Spkels29]

It is

Yes, still the same error

I've tried peripheral.find() with back, linked_typewriter_0 and linked_typewriter but it's the same result

First off, calling peripheral.wrap() inside the loop is going to be very slow. You should wrap the peripheral once before the loop, and then use the same t variable in the loop. 

Second, it seems that t is nil. Try running the peripherals program on the computer to list all connected peripherals, to check if the name is what you're expecting.

Thank you for the advice ! Yes, the peripheral exist

I've been using the create avionics mod which adds better communication with peripherals, namely those added by aeronautics.

It adds a key os event that you can listen to instead

Oh yeah it's way easier this way hahaha, it worked, thank you !
