Binary Converter in Minecraft
This is a binary converter that converts binary code to a base 10 system it has 3 binary inputs and 8 outputs (0-7). It can be used in redstone displays calculators and other circuits in minecraft.
Supplies
A World in minecraft. Creative and Superflat.
Create a Triple AND Gate
Place 5 blocks in a row with 3 on the side. Place 4 redstone torches and 11 Red Stone dust in the configuration shown. The redstone lamp is there for reference, you do not have to add this yet. A triple AND Gate turns on the output (redstone lamp) when all three inputs are on.
Place 8 Triple ALL Gates
Place 8 AND Gates in a row with 3 block spaces in between
Create 6 Rows of Blocks
Place 6 rows of blocks as shown in the picture 5 spaces out from the AND Gates. Make sure there is 3 spaces in between the rows and that the rows extend 2 blocks past the AND Gates at the top and 1 at the bottom.
Place Blocks Toward the Top of the Rows
Place blocks toward the top of the rows in this configuration.
Add NOT Gates (Inverters)
Add one block, a redstone torch, and 2 redstone dust in this configuration
Connecting Rows to the ALL Gates
The top has 3 inputs and the inverter make the inverted line next to the input line opposite to the input line
Continued
The inputs to the ALL Gate are connected to the inverter lines resembling the schematic in step 6. Place redstone on the ¨bridges¨.
Repeat for ALL Gates 1-7
Once this step is finished your circuit should look something like this.
Add Redstone Down the Rows
Add redstone down the rows. Make sure to place it under the "bridges" and not to miss any spaces. Leave 1 space open right after the inverter so it does not light up.
Add Redstone Comparators Down the Rows
Add redstone comparators down the rows at about every 13 spaces. The limit is 15. Try to add them just before a trail of redstone goes of to the side. The less comparators you use the faster it will be.
Place Redstone Comparators on the "bridges"
Place redstone comparators on the "bridges" in this configuration. Remember: 15 spaces is the limit for how far redstone travels.
Place Redstone Lamps by the ALL Gates
Place redstone lamps as shown in the picture.
Add Levers and Redstone
Place levers at each binary input. place redstone at the inverters. and the 0 lamp should come on. Enter binary codes in the inputs and you should have different lamps light up 0-7. If it does not work check your comparitors for backward ones and ones longer than 15 spaces apart
