Hello World! What's up?
The title pretty much sums it up, here the link: http://pastebin.com/MFNG8Z3i
The problem is at line 109, or somewhere around it.
As always, thanks for the attention.

EDIT: Oh, and here's a pic of the setup, if needed: http://i.imgur.com/8jkzN0C.png

Are those ProjectR cables? Those don't work with CC. Use the MFR cables instead.

No, actually. I'm playing on an old version, were they were actually compatible, I'm using the FTB's Ultimate 1.1.2 modpack.

Don't be so impatient, some people have to wait days for an answer.

Your OP is very inadequate as well, which reduces the chance of people helping you, you need to put far more detail into your explanations, for example what you've tested etc. As Lyqyd said (which you can see in my signature) the amount of effort we're willing to use in helping you depends on how much effort you put in.

I don't think ProjectRed cables have ever worked, pretty sure it was RedPower and now MFR. Try the following code in the lua prompt program and tell me whether the lime green cabled turns on rs.setBundledOutput("left", colors.lime)

Sorry, theoriginalbit, I'll keep an eye out for those type of details in my next OPs. I'm truly apologizing.

Anyway, I'm absolutely sure those cables worked, already tested them out dozens of times and, as expected, your code worked as well, theoriginalbit. I tried testing some other commands, for example, rs.getBundledInput("left", 1), I tried to eliminate the usage of a variable - the result was the same.

I'm almost certain that the problem is mainly in the code, not on the cables, the screenshot in the OP shows the whole setup, any question, leave it to me and I'll answer it.

okay, so its hard to tell from the image, is the cable lit? obviously the receivers are, but is the cable?

Er, okay, I just figured out the problem, and it makes me want to kill myself - So, here it how it was setup underneath the covers and etc. (http://i.imgur.com/jYmfkVd.png)

And it took me all this time to figure out that the placing of the bundled cable was wrong. This is the biggest fail ever.

Phew, well, the bright side is that I figured the problem out, I guess. Thanks for the help, anyways…

that's okay. :)/>

for the future readability of your programs it is much better to use the Colors API as opposed to numbers.

FTB ult is MC 1.4, meaning those are RedPower2 cables, not ProjectR. They look the same, hence my question.
