I wanted to build a redstone machine, using some the newer (1.5) redstone elements in the game. Thus I built a subtractive calculator. It can only preform subtractions due to in game limitations, and its highest number is fifteen. I hope you like it and if you happen to find a use for it, (like in a map) go ahead and use it.
Technical stuff
Basically, the calculator subtracts by taking one power level, and removing a determined amount based on another power level (which is how the comparator works). Using redstone wire to "memorize" the number, (the current power level is the number) information can be transmitted around the circuit. Thus a redstone strength of six equals the number "6". The hard part is turning the digital number (stored as info and usable by game) into an analog number (emitted info or usable by player). The reason the number can't be above 15 is because the redstone can't have a strength above 15 "units". It also can't go below zero, because redstone can't represent negative units.
Thanks for your support!

You're using redstone power levels to indicate a number? Why not use signed binary code with a binary adder/subtractor? You would be able to add and subtract with the same circuits.
