Jivaii Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I'm trying to build a massive elevator system (I'll see about getting some screens taken once I'm off work) but the bundled cable I'm using needs to go almost 130 blocks. I noticed there is some loss in signal strength for the red alloy wire (Once separated via the colored cable then into un-insulated). I was wondering if there's some way to put a repeater for the bundle as a whole or will I need to individually separate the cables to buffer them?

warpspeed10 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I would try playing around with a bus tranciever. From what I've been able to figure out, applying a signal to the sides of the transceiver will allow you to controll the passing of signals through it. Try building a test setup with some bundled cable and colored lights/levers to test it yourself. You can also change the distance of red alloy wire if the config file.

theprolo Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I'm pretty sure there's no signal loss in bundled cables. Just make sure that the entire thing is chunk-loaded and it should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivaii Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 It's a vertical set up, and the entire building has world anchors under it (my building provides most of the power) for the config thing, that's changing it server side then?

Linear_Spoon Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 A computercraft computer could act as a repeater This is a very simple example that will replicate an input on the left out the right side while true do signal = rs.getBundledInput("left") rs.setBundledOutput("right", signal) sleep(0.1) end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivaii Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 We're operating without using much computercraft, mostly we use IC2, railcraft, RP, EE, and some BC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendo Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hell, a couple of not gates could do it. You'd have to break open the bundle and run it back into a new one, but it's do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 RedPower wires go 255 blocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivaii Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Wendo, my intent is to not break the bundle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
