OpenPeripheral and Barrels

[schinken]

So, I wrapped a barrel to a computer, but i tried the methods which i get with listMethods.
The only one actually working is the one which gives me the maximum Size that can be stored.
However, when I use like getAllSlots() or getStoredItems() I just get
table: "random Hex value"

That is because those functions return a table and not a string.
You can read more about tables here https://www.lua.org/pil/2.5.html
Some functions that can help you when working with tables https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5.5

Also, if you can explain what you want to do others might be able to help as well

Also, is it a Jabba or Factorization barrel?

You might only be able to interact with one stack of items in the barrel.
