Created by Zucarok for the UTD. (CAD2)
Created by larslolxz. (CAD2+)

A brand new type of adding architecture by the UTD, based on the original CAD1 (unreleased) that was featured on several UTD products, such as the UTD A1 and A2.

CAD2 had some serious design issues, now switched to CAD2+. It is also more compact.

This is an open utility, anyone can use it as long as they give credit. If you see someone using it without due credit, please report them to this account via PM.

Given that you one upped my project, I'm here to tell you I've one upped yours.

www.planetminecraft.com/project/2-wide-tileable-full-adder/

And there's also this which has it down pat for speed:

www.planetminecraft.com/project/efficient-full-adder/

Its a lot more efficient to have it 2 wide and tiling. Of course, if you're looking for speed then yours is probably preferred.

Can I also point out that you can compact your design rather easily.

Firstly, the first half adder can have part of the middle bit taken out. One torch can power both of the gates.

Secondly, you need to get rid of the repeater and put a redstone torch there. Then get rid of that block, and put another torch on the other HA to power the carry out. Also get rid of the torch at the bottom.

Finally, the carry out on this does not work at all, given that you can't power through a block unless there is a repeater on one or both sides. You have a repeater at one point, but you lack in on the other.

Plus, the way you currently have it set up, the second HA doesn't work in the slightest.

Now, don't take this the wrong way, because I'm not trying for that. I'm trying to tell you how it's wrong, and how you can fix it. More constructive criticism than anything else. So don't complain, say thanks.

you're looking at CAD2, not CAD2+
plus, your adder is 182 blocks big (7x2x13)
and ours is 4x5x3 not counting redstone, and 5x6x4 counting it. which is less. 5x6x4 = 120
plus, you did not create the one which is faster, CX gamer did. and you could have at least downloaded the schematic and read the update log which says "fixed some major design issues", namely all your faults. it's actually completely remade.
and even if you count a layer around it it's 6x7x4 (not the top, that's not the issue), which is 168 blocks. the only way your argument of your adder being more compact is valid is if the extra layer is added to all sides counting redstone, which is unneeded. thus, your arguments are all invalid.
except the one about his being faster, which is not the issue. this one is made for size.

For something as simple as a FA, I don't need credit. :p

You don't mention demorgan every time you build an AND gate either so yeah. I just build stuff that's free to be used, to help the community, not for my own glory.

I never claimed that the second one was mine.

So, you're going to take my attempt at being nice for once and shove it up somewhere I don't care to mention?

i'm saying the second one is completely unrelated. this one is made for size. that one for speed.

Haha, I look orward to it.

We may be competitors but that doesn't mean I can't assist in pointing out errors/improvements.

Actually it does, at the point you agreed I should get hit by a bus. Your a terrible human being.

Also for that matter, why where you in our IRC? Or if not you, then another UTD member who I suspect was zdrara or whatever his name is.

An RDF member sent it to us, because he personally thought it was disgusting. That user will remain anonymous.
