well i think a button toggle is more appropriate for something i wannna make, how would i do that?
one question, i remember seeing a video on youtube on a minecraft computer, with ram and everything and im wondering what is ram? i know ram is random access memory but when i hear memory i automatically think rs nor latchs, so im thinking its just a bunch of rs norlatches wired together, how is it made?what is its purpose?
thanks in advance
btw im using the integrated redstone mod its realy helpful and compact, it would be really cool if someone made a compact computer with that mod

Yes, you need to wire the button to a T-flip-flop (check the wiki).
As far as RAM goes, yes, most of the time it's just like a huge pile of RS NOR latches. However, they are called D-latches here (data latches), because they are actually constructs which encompass an RS NOR latch (or similar functional unit) and add extra functionality to it. For example, 'write enable' signals (the latch only triggers if that line is lit up, to protect the stored value from accidental overwriting).
Check this thread, where I am being taught how to RAM by some of the gurus in the field :wink.gif:
toggles take up a fair bit of space is the only problem but if you go on youtube and type in "minecraft T flip flop tutorial" there are some good ones. If you want a vertical one (1 block wide) click here
to give you an idea they are usually about 8X10 blocks
In response to the other question Ram is sometimes lots of latches like you said but sometimes also a delay line which stores a signal so more than one etc. Thats on youtube too ,(Delay lines)
wow thanks ive beeen wondering that for the longest

wow seems realy complicated
for anyone who cares ive found a video tha seems realy easy and compact
RAM is what your computer uses to show stuff on the screen for example. It's basically memory but that wont stay long (when you move the mouse, the RAM working on the screen needs to change all the pixels concerned).
In Minecraft, we use D flip flops (Data Flip Flops to be precise). Basically, these wont change value unless they get the signal from a clock. Used for example in a ticker display to send to the display itself the row of pixels.
Hope this helped.

flip flops look HUUUUGE, imma try to compact it
wow thanks ive beeen wondering that for the longest

Here is an uncompact version, which is a bit confusing with no instructions.
I was wondering the same thing... preparing for the 1.7 pistons and all.
Thanks for the video, too. The compact toggle is what I like to see. :3
