rs.setBundledOutput() won't send signal

I'm trying to create a simple light-switch program to play with bundled cables. The code works fine, but the redstone won't respond through a bundled cable connected directly to a computer. Either when I edit the program directly, or try to send signals in lua, this is what happens…

lua> rs.getBundledOutput("back") // outputs 0
lua> rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.white) // code takes fine, proven by...
lua> rs.getBundledOutput("back") // outputs white/1 or black/32768, etc...

So the code seems fine, but the actual redstone won't "ignite" so-to-speak. Help?

Thanks,

How is the cable and computer setup?

Computer on stone, bundled cable on back of computer, running to roof where it branches into colors for the lights.

there is your problem, use this setup

SIDE VIEW

ABS
ABS
CBS
ASS

A=air
S=stone
C=computer

you MUST also place the bundled cable on the bottom centre stone

I'll try that when the server is back up. But I don't see why it should have to attach as a side peripheral…. Besides, the code acknowledges that there's a bundle on the back, the only problem is that the redstone isn't catching the signal.

Thanks. Running it on the side works. It still seems odd that I can't run it to the back though. I think cables at the back is more natural to place and more realistic.

The problem is that, for some reason, the computer doesn't send the output to cables that are over the computer, it just sends it to the cables that are next to it.

Maybe I should write up a bug report for it. xD That way it (hopefully) gets fixed somewhere along the way (eventually). lol

I don't think this is fixable in CC - basically, (I think) the red power cable doesn't actually see itself as connected when it is running down the back of the computer. That is Elo's code and there's little we can do to fix it.

That's right, the cable is placed ON a block and connects to the cables next to it, that's how a wire works

Okay… Well, thanks for all the help. It's a simple enough work around without reinventing the wheel. :)/>/>

This Thread is old, but it should be pinned, Bunddled Cables Don't work in any of this setups:

The Bundled cable WON'T acknowledge it's connected to the computer. therefore no signal would be sent, you need to use the following set ups :

ABS YOU can place stone over the computer, but the bunded cable MUST be attached to the wall behind the computer, not over the computer.

for a cable running down:
