I'm using the Direwolf pack and I'm wondering what people are doing or what would be a good way to charge for example my armor out and about away from my base. I know Direwolf has done it with turtles, but I like to see if there's a way to do it without turtles or if there isn't what would be the best way. I have one Ender chest that I'm using as my "keep me supplied" chest and I would like to drop uncharged armor (at any charge level) into it have it get charged in my MFSU you and spit back out into the Ender chest. The AE fuzzy buses look PERFECT for this but they aren't in 1.4.7 (I can't wait to be able to use them). Does anybody have any ideas about how to do this?
Good "in the field" charging system?

Emerald pipes. The DW20 pack is a little light on automation primitives that are up to this task, though. For that build, turtles really were the simplest solution.
I'll look into them, thanks. Do you tell them what items to use with real items like redpower or ghost blocks like AE? I really can't afford building two GraviSuites just to tell it what to do with my one I wear.

It uses ghost items, and is sensitive to NBT data.
So does that mean that it sees all damaged items as the same or different?
Edit: So I did a little testing and the ghost items are great, but it sees damaged items as different. So I guess I could do this if I always ran my armor down to zero charge but, I'm not huge fan of that. It would be great for pulling out full armor though. Any other ideas besides turtles? Or I think I'm going for them. I'm new to turtles so quick question, can a turtle next to a inventory see what the items are without picking them up?
Since I'm a complete and utter noob where programming and turtles are concerned I wanted to keep the use of turtles to a minimum, or at least keep the programmes as simple as possible.
What I ended up doing was place a turtle (with inventory upgrade from MiscPeripherals) on top of one of my MFSUs and place an ender chest to its left. 2 blocks above the turtle I placed a wireless receiver attached to red alloy wire to allow it to be pulsed.
The programme I wrote on the turtle is the simplest I could come up with:
1. turn left
2. grab from slot 1 (and only slot 1)
3. turn right
4. drop down
5. wait 25 secs
6. suck up
7. turn left
8. place in slot 1
Trickiest part was actually making the wireless redstone programme and for that I resorted to google. Found a simple one that works. I'll pastebin both programmes once I get home today, should anyone be interested.
What I can now do is select my wireless remote, set it to the "Recharger" frequency and pulse it once (obviously I should place the item to be recharged into my ender pouch before pulsing ). This then runs the entire cycle once, with a small pause at the end so that I could run it more than once in succession to allow me to charge more items one after the other.
Hope this helps a little.
