Block/adapter
Adapter
Used to control non-component blocks, such as vanilla blocks or blocks from other mods. You will most likely also install [OpenComponents](https://github.com/MightyPirates/OpenComponents) to make this block more useful.
This block allows interfacing with all kinds of blocks, as long as a driver is made available to OpenComputers. For example, OpenComponents OpenComputers comes with such drivers for the vanilla Command Block and Note Block, as well as drivers for a bunch of tech mods such as BuildCraft IndustrialCraft2 and ThermalExpansion. OpenComponents OpenComputers will also allow the Adapter to interface with most ComputerCraft peripherals.
If you're a modder it's pretty easy to write a driver, you just have to implement the corresponding interface from the API and register it with OpenComputers in the init phase. Have a look at the implementation of OpenComponents, if you find [the documentation](https://github.com/MightyPirates/OpenComputers/tree/master/src/main/java/li/cil/oc/api) in the interfaces is insufficient. Have a look at existing implementations within [OpenComputers](https://github.com/MightyPirates/OpenComputers/tree/master-MC1.8/src/main/scala/li/cil/oc/integration) if you find the documentations in the interfaces is insufficient.
The Adapter is crafted using the following recipe:
- 4 x Iron Ingot
- 3 x Cable
- 1 x Microchip (Tier 1)
- 1 x Printed Circuit Board
