Automation of a Wand Recharge Pedestal?

[Evilshallwin]

I've attempted multiple things to try to place a wand on a Wand Recharge Pedestal. The things I've tried are:

1. Turtle's drop() command - failed, simply doesn't place the wand
2. A dynamism tablet - failed, causes an error to pop up in chat saying that a class cast was invalid
3. Autonomous Activator - success, but cannot use it since it is banned

I cannot use an autonomous activator due to the fact that they are banned on my server because of the watering can exploit (we will eventually update to a version that patches this exploit but it's not in the foreseeable future).

Is there anything that could possibly work on a wand recharge pedestal the way an autonomous activator does? I don't know why the activator works and not anything else that acts in a similar manner (fake player using item), so if anyone could explain that as well I'd appreciate it.

Pipe it in? It's not as easy to track how charged the wand is, though, unless you get Thaumcraft Gates.

Don't you just love gany?

The turtle.drop() command works fine with me. I use Thaumic Tinkerer, Thermal Expansion and ComputerCraft to automate this.
Programs not yet finalized, but already works very well.

I'm trying to use this for an on the go system, where I have an ender pouch specifically to recharge a wand and when I put the wand in it gets pulled into the recharge station then spat out into another ender chest.

If possible can you show me your setup and the Lua code? Also, your typing and grammar are better than most native-English speakers.

Hasn't the pedestal been an inventory since some versions ago? Just pipe the wand it in and it should work.
To take it out once it's full, I don't know, but itemducts with filters set to not ignore NBT/metadata should have no problem doing that.

Here's the imgur álbum for this: http://imgur.com/a/nN7Jd

And the programs:
Turtle: http://pastebin.com/Kb4jFmr6
Computer: http://pastebin.com/783R2LJ4
Button API: http://pastebin.com/CEbN2uyQ

The Button API is the same of the Direwolf20, the only difference is the peripheral side.

Yes this works. I prefer my version because I think this very simple and I plan to make this more manageable.

Thank you so very much! I figured it out - for some reason turtle.drop() doesn't work when the turtle is facing the pedestal, you HAVE to do it from the bottom of the pedestal.

Thank you for the help!

My first help in this forum, I'm thrilled *-*

And, not at all

Again, Thaumcraft Pipes has you covered, not for moving anything with the pipes but for using gates on 'em. Has support for Warded Jars with essentia types and if the jar is full or whatever, and on the wand recharging thingy with support for wand charge status, such as "is wand charged" and whatnot. Pipe in wand with a redstone controlled extraction and set the thing to emit a signal once the wand is charged.
