I've used tesseracts plenty, but usually in exclusive send or receive mode. I have a particular setup right now for which I'm trying to use the send/receive mode and I'm not getting the result I expected, and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if they don't "do the right thing".

Each tesseract is attached at its location, lets call that "local", to an inventory, which is supposed to receive items from the "remote" side.
In addition, each tesseract has a pipe coming into it from another "local" device, which feeds it items that it will send to the "remote".

Basically it's an exchange of items. Hope I explained that clearly.

Now, what would make sense to me is, if the item arrives from "local" (ie: it wasn't "received" from a remote tesseract channel), then "send" it to the remote tesseract. But if an item comes from the remote tesseract, then output to a side (could be any side that has something attached).

That makes sense right? But it isn't what's happening.

I've got local items coming in from the pipe, that end up in the local chest that's also attached to the tesseract. This doesn't seem logical to me. Am I missing something or is the send/receive not working as intended?

Well the problem is that you have multiple outputs for a single input. If you have multiple tesseracts on the same frequency, I am not sure, but I think it works like piping junctions, the items will split. This means that occasionally an item received by your local tesseract may find the output side which is itself.

Test things:

Single tesseract set to send/receive mode. Send in an item through one side and provide an output side. Observe the behaviour and report back. It'll be interesting to see if the item appears to just go straight through. If so, we can confirm the above hypothesis.

They shouldn't be going to the same tesseract.. I thought they were incapable of sending items to themselves
Your explanation is how it's always worked for me in past versions
