I am not sure if this is the correct forum but i have no more ideas.
Il come right to the point.
Well if a put a energy cell ontop and make wrap("top") it works perfectly it detects the cell. But if i wire it with wired modems it wont get the cell or any thermal construct machine (also minefactory reloaded). It gives me the name powered-title_0. I tryed everything with conecting and rewiring changing outputs ect. Can anyone help me with this problem?

You likely need to use wrap(<name that you are given when right clicking the modem on the peripheral>)

The problem is that when I right click it says powered-title_0 and if I wrap that it gives me nil. So it's not getting the wrap. I guess I am doing something wrong when pacing the modem or do I need some kind of special modem ?

I think it's rather more likely the network name you're shown would be "powered-tile_0". Check that you're copying it correctly.

Ok, I thought it should be something like "thermal-expansion_cell_0" but I guess not then.

so i have tryed that and it still gives me a nil value i think i have put the modem on wrong or there is a different kind of modem.

It may be worth showing us the code you're running, the exact error you're getting, and a screenshot of your wiring (plus the chat message you get when activating the modem).

That doesn't show the modem being activated. Click it so it lights up red, and watch the chat.

You'll also want to correct that "getEnergyStoed" typo.
