I actually somehow get confused when there's a half-adder as the first bit, so I always just use a full-adder for the first bit, even though there's obviously no carry-in. It still works, and it's easier for my brain to wrap around, so that's what I do. Thanks for the pictures. I'll try and see if I can duplicate that. :tongue.gif: If not, I may find out how to upload a schematic, give you the instructions, and perhaps you could do that? :smile.gif:
I have finished the display and hexi-decimal decoder, next is the binary decoder, then the adders (I like working backwards -- I seem to be able to make it more compact that way). The hexi-decimal decoder alone took like two hours. o.o Spent all last night planning this out instead of sleeping. :tongue.gif: Once it's done, the most delay in it will be like two seconds. I'll upload picture of the finished product when I'm done.
Thanks again for those adders; I wouldn't have been able to make this very compact without them.
pics below got no idea how i can upload the schematic xD..
(snip)
If you have McEdit, you can load that world, select the region to be in the schematic, and click export. That will save the schematic in your McEdit schematics folder, where you can upload it to a sight like MediaFire, and then put the link in a post here.
You don't have to do that, of course, but it would be helpful.
I'm making a 5-bit calculator, and for it I need full adders that are tileable and three blocks wide. Doesn't matter how long or tall they are, but smaller is better. I would prefer the inputs and outputs to be on opposite sides on the adders and on the ground, but it doesn't matter that much. I'll show a picture to display what I mean.
If anyone can give me the schematic to an adder like this, I'll love you forever. Unless that's weird. Then I'll just give you diamonds.
Just to clarify: I know this is a really easy build. I did it in about ten minutes. However, the only ones I could find were really pathetic, so I felt the need to put this here. Plus, someone new to redstone might see this and realize that things like this can be made easily. Not an amazing build, but I still felt it should be here.
How did you get started learning about calculators and binary?
I know binary is 1 or 0, which is called bits. and 8 bits is 1 byte. And some other stuff.
I actually have 0 experience with calculators/binary/computers outside of minecraft. There are plenty of tutorials for redstone of different levels of complexity floating around.
nice :biggrin.gif:
Maybe I should learn all this computer and calculator stuff, if it can be this small :smile.gif:
It's pretty easy. Just start with something simple and make things progressively more complex. The most difficult part is learning how to read binary; it may seem confusing at first, but eventually it will click and you'll find it to be quite simple. Just play around with redstone for a bit. It's quite fun! :tongue.gif: I wish you the best of luck in your future redstone adventures.
Pretty easy for a 2 bit, try for a 4 or 8 bit but you need two 7 segments
I'm working on a larger one now. I understand this creation isn't that great, but I just had to post it because I've never seen one this small or with a 7-segment display.

That's the best version I've seen.
