Storm-Inc: 8 Bit Binary Decoder

Haha good work! At least you count binary, that's for sure :-). I have done something similar, I also hooked up an encoder for three seven segment displays. Probably the most insane project I have ever done :D I however used a different method of decoding, if you're interested, i could put it up again for download. Deserves every diamond!

Hey nice !

I can't imagine what you will plug a decoder this big into, but nice !

Wow, that must've taken forever. If you want to, you could make it a cube with less volume using some RAM-style 2-d decoding. Right now, you're using 1-d decoding, which means you have a decoder for every ROM cell. ROM cells are where you placed the output torches, I think, just without the decoder to select it. In your case, that just means one torch, but think of it as a cell for clarity reasons. In 2-d decoding, the cells are in a checkerboard shape, with decoders to select which row and column the cell is in. To do this with a 4-bit decoder, you would create a 4x4 grid of cells, and two separate decoders which work exactly the same way your decoder does, but with two 2-bit decoders. Based on each 2-bit section of the input, 1 decoder selects 1 column, and another selects 1 row. To actually select the cell, just select whichever cell both decoder signals pass through, and output that along whichever wire that cell outputs to. I know this is confusing, so I'm going to cover this in the tutorial soon. Acheivement Get: Wall of Text.
