Greetings, friends!
Today I present the first complex redstone contraption I ever designed. It is a simple redstone calculator, and the simplest calculators can get in fact! It is only a 2-bit calculator, which means it can only receive input numbers that are a maximum of 2 digits long. Since it works in binary, the only numbers it can process is 0, 1, 2, and 3 (in binary 00, 01, 10, and 11).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How it was built
You will find a diagram in the media gallery that shows a specific layout of XOR, AND, and OR logic gates that make up a 2-Bit binary adder. My contraption is basically a translation of that circuit into Minecraft. The circuit consists of a half-adder and a full-adder. A half-adder alone can only sum 1-bit numbers, it consists of one AND and one XOR gate. The full-adder consists of a specific arrangement of two AND gates, two XOR gates, and one OR gate. Using both simultaneously we get a 2-bit adder. Keep in mind that this is only one of many ways to make a redstone adder.

Instructions
You will find four levers with a "+" sign on the input panel between the second and third. Enter the first number in the first two levers (in binary form) and the other number you want to sum it with in the last two levers (in binary form). You will find a decimal to binary chart behind you (1 = lever activated; 0 = lever deactivated).
To see the results, follow the white pathway towards the output panel. It has three redstone lamps. There, you can find a binary to decimal chart (the results come out in binary). Lamp on = 1; lamp off = 0.

Thank you,
