Monitor (ComputerCraft)

Monitors


The ComputerCraft monitor is a peripheral that allows a console to display things without being close to it or opening the console GUI. When placed together, they will form a single, bigger, monitor.

Use
In the console, a program can be run by using monitor

but this means that if you have a program that starts automatically, such as something to display IC2 Nuclear Reactor information, it won't work correctly. It will just display it on the console. On the ComputerCraft wiki, it says that you can use the API

term.redirect(monitor)

but this does not work. So you have to use this in your code instead:

Variable = peripheral.wrap(side) Later in the program, things can be done on the monitor by using any of the term. apis, but replacing term with whatever you named your variable.
