[SOLVED] luminators not working

Operating System: Windows 7 64 bit

Version of Java: v7 62 bit

Description of Problem: Luminators not working

Error Messages: N/A

When I try to use luminators with any low voltage power source they flash for a second when placed and then stop working.

Heres what I've tried.

Solar array-->MFE-->LV transformer--->fiber optic cable--->luminator

MKII reactor-->MFSU-->MFE--> LV transformer--->fiber optic cable--->luminator

Unless I'm being a complete noob this should be working.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [bug] luminators not working

Just did my own test (replacing the power source to my nuclear generator)

Luminator seems to be working fine for me.

Re: [bug] luminators not working

try running the cable from a batbox rather than the transformer.

Re: [bug] luminators not working

I just tried running this config and no luck...

Reactor-->MFSU-->HV transformer--LV Transformer-->BatBox--luminator

Now the thing I did find out there is no power going from the MFSU to the HV transformer.. I tried placing an MFE between the MFSU and the HV Transformer (no power)

Took out the HV Transformer and put a LV transformer still no power from the MFSU is getting to anything I connect to it...

Ideas?

Because I just ran out of them...

Re: [bug] luminators not working

wait, i see what's going on.

You need MV transformers in there too. you only have 2 tiers of transformers.

I just checked and I have the MV transformer. Going to add it to the loop sometime in the morning and try it then. Will reply with results after I test it.

Thanks.

Re: [bug] luminators not working

There are a couple of things that look wrong here, this

MKII reactor-->MFSU-->MFE--> LV transformer--->fiber optic cable--->luminator

would blow the MFE, as it doesn't accept 512 EU/t in, and this

Reactor-->MFSU-->HV transformer--LV Transformer-->BatBox--luminator

would blow the LV transformer since an HV transformer in that config is designed to step down from 2048 EU/t to 512 EU/t

however this

Solar array-->MFE-->LV transformer--->fiber optic cable--->luminator

should work assuming you've got the transformer aroudn the right way (3 dots to the high EU side)

For your MFSU setup you'd need

MFSU->MV Trans->LV Trans->(optional) Batbox->Luminator

Put a cable between each one to make sure you're not blowing the cable at some point too

Re: [bug] luminators not working

Currently I'm waiting on my MFSU to finish charging from the reactor I built this morning. Once that's done I will be trying this setup and hoping it works.

Reactor-->MFSU--HV transformer-->MV transformer-->LV Transformer-->batbox or luminator switched out to see which one works.

If that doesn't work I'm thinking that something got messed up when I moved the world over from my old craftbukkit server to the Tekkit server I run for a close group of friends.

EDIT!!

Well I've came to the belief that I'm A complete NOOB today.... (considering that my first computer was a TRS-80 in 1979)

I forgot to make sure that the HV input on the boxes was lined up with the MFSU output!!

Oh DERP IS ME!!!! LOL

Luminators not working because of the operator had a DERP moment! LOL
