Problems with bundled cable

Hey guys,

it has been a while since I last asked for help with CC. Right now I am playing on FTBLite3 and added CC 1.75 by myself.

My problem is that the Rednet Cables from MFR do not work with CC. I updated MFR manually to 2.8.1-174 which is the latest version available but still no success. When I attach the cable to a computer and flip a lever on the other side rs.getBundledInput() does return 0 - the other way around a redstone lamp does not turn on when rs.setBundledOutput("back", colors.white) is run. So I figure the versions are not compatible but according to the wiki there must have been a constellation that worked.

Same problem with ProjectRed Bundled Cables so I think CC 1.75 is broken since I found this post stating that it should work.

Am I doing something terriblly wrong by calling these methods?

Any help would be very much appreciated,
Cheers Mirodin

Testing for myself, I couldn't get MFR 2.8.1-174's RedNet cables to do much, even after belting them in various ways with the Precision Sledgehammer.

PR 4.5.15.75's cables work fine though. Bear in mind that you typically need to connect a Bundled Cable to the computer, a <Colour> Insulated Wire to that, and then finally a Red Alloy Wire to that.

Hi Bomb Bloke,

sorry for my late reply, I have been in holidays for the last two weeks. Yes, you are right, I got RP wrking. My problem was, I was not reading correctly and missed the "compat.jar" file which makes RP cables work with CC.

As your observation matches with mine concerning MFR maybe the hint in the wiki should be removed.

Cheers
