This is a new redstone project I worked on for a few hours, and it will be part of my redstone computer component series.

    Now, I did not plan ahead as to what part in the computer this decoder would go to, but I built it anyway, because It might be useful to send into a graphics gard(GPU) as a desimal input for the GPU to encode into decimal format for display.

    How does it work?
    
I used insta-wire to do the horizontal bussing to make the decoding process faster. I used glowstone staircases to perform the vertical wireing. The decoders are made up of a series of 8 input/bit AND gates put togather in a design shown to me by the RDF 2 years ago. These and gates are hand-coded to output a signal into one of the 128 output bytes, as a decoded signal ready to be encoded into any format. The lamps are the output blocks inteded for the user to pull the signal out of to rout to a new device.



    The "Building a computer" plan:

    "I plan on doing a contraption series of components in a computer, for example: RAM, CPU, ALU, Memory drivers, etc... I will be building all of these components in 4 Bit, 8 Bit, 16 Bit, and 32 Bit devices."



  Have something to say?
