i have a question i don't quite understand how splitters and detector cable work. can i apply a redstone current to them? or do they only emit a redstone signal themselves.
how do splitters work?
-
There's a wiki for this stuff you know? Anyway, splitters shut off eu flow when redstone current is applied, detectors do the opposite, they emit redstone current when eus flow through them.
-
The splitter cables do not work very well atm. Try putting a single piece of redstone dust on the ground and then a lever after that.
-
This may sound strange... but try 2 spots of redstone leading up to the splitter cable... straight line... even ground.
splitter -> redstone -> redstone -> lever -
direct redstone or redstone repeater always works, other options sometimes dont work as expected.

Vanillaredstone has the same behaviour, so its not Eloraams fault, when she made it like the vanilly redstone. And as i said, use the indirect Redstone too like everyone else does. It is not annoying when a Detectorcable powers a Splittercable. Its annoying when you have to put two times more Redstone around it, just to make these damn things work.

Why Redpower2 Jacketed Wire connects perfectly with Splitter and Detector cables, not that it's much help as still no RP2 for 1.3.2.

Would it be possible for someone to release a patch for this that enables indirect redstone behavior on the splitter cable? I would love it even more if it could be created for IC2 1.103 and IC2 1.106. A large part of the IC2 user base is still on 1.25.

Yeah, splitter cable behavior is a major pain in the ass.
I found a small workaround, if the cable is encased in CF it becomes a solid block and behaves a bit more sanely, you can put a lever directly on it to power it, etc.
I have no idea why the devs are so stubborn about changing it, every single other mod manages to get it right, except IC2.
