Noob Alert : Charging robots using IC2 Generators

[spartanfaez96 0]

This is my first time using OC, and there's no help regarding the matter that I can found.

 

Basically, I want to use an IndustrialCraft2 generator, say the Geothermal Generator, to charge up my robots.

Is there any addon to convert IC2 to OC perhaps? Or am I just doing it wrong? Do I need to use adapter and/or power converter? Or perhaps capacitors too? I have no idea...

Connect the charger to the power converter (you can place them next to each other, or connect via the OC cable). Provide IC2 energy to the power converter (use IC2 wires). Put a lever on the charger and flip it. And then you're done, pretty much. Robots will charge up if they are next to the charger.

 

Adapters are used when you want to control non-component blocks (note blocks, for example).

 

Capacitors store energy. You need them because many OC components don't have a huge energy buffer, meaning they will shut down in a short time if no energy is supplied. So if you can't maintain non-stop energy supply, use capacitors.
