Colored Bundle Question - trigger piston

ProjectRed bundled cable on the back side of a basic computer. One yellow ProjectRed Insulated Yellow Wire branching off an going to the base of a Piston to the bundled cable.

From the computer I'm running a simple. I see no errors, but the piston doesn't move.
sSide = "back"
redstone.setBundledOutput(sSide, colors.yellow)
I've added Sleep times in case the signal was too fast. Any insight what I would be doing wrong to trigger the piston?

What version of CC / ProjectRed do you have? Some versions do not support CC's bundled cable manipulation.

sorry. latest FTB Direwolf20. CC 1.65 and 1.7.10 for project red.

I have the required versions of CC/PR/MFR in this pastebin, just in case

The DW20 1.7.10 pack does have the correct versions though (I'm pretty sure)


Your OP isn't quite clear, is the yellow cable going into the computer or the piston?

This is the setup you would need to make it work:
Computer > Bundled Cable > Yellow Wire > Piston

If you've got all that right, try posting your exact code, and a screenshot of the setup

sleep(10)

I get no errors when it runs. I've tried other color wires, I've replaced a piston with a lamp.

Here's a pic of the basic setup http://imgur.com/mG2wjg0

you need non-insulated wire between the piston and coloured cables

Like lupus said, you need to use regular alloy wire in between the yellow wire and the piston (Since they're multiparts, you should just be able to add some)

Notice how the yellow wire doesn't fully touch the piston

Thanks guys. I'm glad it was something simple.
Thanks again!
