So I've got ME system set up and running, but I'm having issues connecting machines from other mods to it. My main concern in my mob farm. I'm using a grinder from MineFactory Reloaded and I can't get anything to pull the items out and dump them into the ME. I'm using basic ME glass cable to connect everything. I was thinking an ME Export Bus would do the trick, but it just tells me the device is offline and I don't know enough about Applied Energistics to maybe fix that. I have everything connected properly, I just don't know what to do from here. Help please?

Try to first put a buffer chest and then a port on it :)

I'm sorry, but can you please elaborate? I truly am pretty new to applied energistics and am a little surprised I've made it this far on my own. Do you mean an ME IO port or Spatial IO port?

device is offline? hmm did you hook up a energy acceptor to the cables?
EDIT : the port he meant is a import bus. peeps around here like to say buses as ports and vice versa

If you want to take items from a chest to your ME sustem you need an Import bus.

ME glass cable and ME smart cable can carry 8 channels, every block that stores or moves items (interface, disk drive, import and export busses) use one channel. Dense cable can carry 32 channels.

Here is a video about the channels,

Thank you so much for this video. It actually helped me out a lot and I've got everything working perfectly now. Thanks again!
