Problem with programmable splitters

[McLemon]

Two Examples of programmable Splitters from my site:

1. on a conveyor belt comes some ore, some caterium ... works perfect.
2. on a conveyor belt with samples comes 1 x screw, 1 x rotor, 1 x steel ... splitter is totally blocked.

anybody else with the same or different experience?

What command do the outputs have?
Screenshot of the layout?

Smart splitters have to fill up before they overflow, so you always get 3 items stuck in the smart splitter.

And the items that come through the smart splitter might or might not knock one of the stuck items out and replace it. This is random and not fifo.

you need to give those other items a place to go, either by selecting them individually or by having an "any", or "Any undefined", or "overflow" somewhere on the splitter
I usually only use smart splitters as I cant really find many cases where a programmable splitters is any better for the things I do.

I tested all selecting methods. Last test was two splitters in a row with only one defined material and the two others any and undefined. They blocked.

Something is either messed up with your output belt or the programming is wrong. Try to send the caterium different directions on the splitter and see if it works.

Thank You for help, but this is impossible. This problem affects 8 splitters on a round course and I tried to find a solution for hours. I built other programmable splitters before that work well.

After all a round course to the fabricators was a bad idea anyway, because it´s very slow. I will discard the hole work and go back to an earlier save.

Now, after I have built more belts and splitters whith some single Items between (with good function) I think I´ve got the reason of the problem. If the belt is very full with stop and go movement to the programmable splitter and only single items, the splitter seems to be overstrain and it stops proceeding.
