OpenComputers Interface

The OpenComputers Interface is a peripheral which can be used by OpenComputers computers to interact with screens.

Recipe

How to use

First, place the block next to an OpenComputers computer and link it to a screen using the Linking Tool. Then, you'll need its OpenComputers address, which can be obtained this way:

component = component or require("component")
wdScreenAddress = nil

for addr, name in component.list() do
    if name == "webdisplays" then
        wdScreenAddress = addr
        break
    end
end

if not wdScreenAddress then
    print("Couldn't find WebDisplays screen")
    return
end

Then, you'll need a proxy to execute WebDisplays functions:

wdScreen = component.proxy(wdScreenAddress)

This process is detailed on the OpenComputers wiki.

Permissions

This interface will have the same restrictions and permissions as the player who placed the block.
