I was messing with the miner and a couple of other machine and wanted a way to toggle them off, so I used the EU detector cable. But the cable is so picky about how the redstone signal reaches it that it refuses to function 90% of the time. First of all, I can't use red power wires/redstone tubes/jacketed wire at all any where in the connection between the cable and the power source. Also it only wantes to listen to levers and nothing else. Second, the way the wire has to be going into the EU Splitter has to be *perfect* or it doesn't want to work; the signal has to be protruding straight out for *at least* two blocks if i want it to function. But the automatic miner that I want to create is designed to be ultra compact and this is driving me crazy. Is this supposed to be happening?
EDIT:I am using the most current version of IC2 as well as RP2, BC3, Forestry, NEI, Rei's Minimap, Optifine, Inv Tweaks, Iron Chests, and a couple misc. Add-ons.
