I was asking about that a few posts above. I was convinced to keep it that way so that the day starts at 0 making a 1bit daytime circuit output 0 when there's light and 1 when it's dark. It could have both options possible with a sign arg if I find a way to squeeze it in somehow.

Good idea. I just added the reverse case to my todo list - a transmitter that sends to a selected group of bits on a channel. I'll try to code it the other way as well.

 

Edit: I found a second bug.

Line 17 of multiplier.java should read

Code:

int constant = 1;

since your docs say that the constant is optional. However, if you don't specify a constant, everything comes out as 0.

----------------------

Maybe I'm the only one who has this problem, but it seems I cannot shut off pixels in my circuits without a full server restart (Not even /reload fixes it).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a simple clock with a transmitter
2. Set up one or more pixel receivers that dye some wool
3. Start the circuit
4. Break the pixel circuit any way you can think of (rc-break, manually breaking blocks, etc)
5. Observe as block of wool still changes color with the clock.

Optionally,
6. Break the wool block
7. Replace it with a new one
8. Observe as the wool begins changing color with the clock without any connected circuit.

Am I crazy or is this a legitimate bug?


Edit:

@vsTerminus You are right about the multiplier bug. I haven't noticed it before, thanks... I guess not many people use it without a constant (or at all).
About the pixel bug, it was reported a few posts above and it's already fixed on the github repository. I will release a new BasicCircuits as soon as I can but I'm a bit too busy this week.

 

Hi,
I've got a question. I tried to change a lever state (on -> off) by pressing a button. Is this possible?
I want to build a Button which opens a door if I press it first time. (normaly the door close after 1-2 seconds, thats what I don't want to happen)
The door should be opened until i push the button second time.

sure a lever can do this, but i need this function in more combinations. thats only a simple sample.

I hope you understand what I would du and someone can help me?

 

You need a flipflop. Build it with 1 input and 1 output. When you trigger the input (with a button) the output lever will change its state which I guess is what you're looking for.

 

yea! Perfect! thats what I need!

Thanks a lot!

 

@eisental That is good news, thanks

Someone on my server used your plugin to create a digital clock on the side of the main tower. As long as someone is in the game, it displays the current time as reported by my server.

 

Hi all, i was wondering how to change the default input/output blocks, like what would the reference be to cobble stone if i wanted to change outputblock from gold to cobblestone in the config file. is there anyway to figure this out? ive tried something like COBBLESTONE_BLOCK as an output and that didnt work then i tried CSTONE_BLOCK cuz i know thats the item refference in a few other plugins, is there anyway to figure the references to block types out?

 

Normally you could check this: http://javadoc.lukegb.com/BukkitJD/org/bukkit/Material.html#enum_constant_detail
These are the way the materials are listed in code. I write my plugins based on these names.

If that name doesn't work, you can use the number for it from here http://minecraft-ids.grahamedgecombe.com/

 

oh thanks for the info!

 

could someone upload a mirror, github won't work on my computer

 

@newyorkdaily What Richard wrote is basically correct but I just wanted to add that the check is not case sensitive - you can use COBBLESTONE but also cobblestone, and you don't have to type in the underscore for it to work - DOUBLE_STEP and doublestep should both work.
Also, since the last RC version (0.86) you can use specific data values. Type in wood:2 for birch wood and wood:1 for redwood for example. It's also possible to use specific wool colors by writing in wool:<color> - wool:blue, wool:red etc.

 

Sweet, colored wool got it. Thanks!

 

Sorry to keep bombarding you with suggestions, but I thought of another one while building the clock.

It may be useful for the segdriver circuit to have an optional "blank" pin, so if you want to blank the display you can. I couldn't find any way to make the display go back to nothing once the segdriver was hooked up and data had been sent to it.

Also, a very minor bug, the multiplier circuit appears to identify itself as an Adder when activated:
info(sender, "Activating adder with " + inBitSetCount + " input set(s) of " + wordlength + " bits each.");

I thought you mentioned in a previous post that the transmitter had been modified to load the chunk the receiver was in if it was not loaded. Is this still true? I didn't seem to find anything in the code that indicated that, but then again, I'm not quite sure what I would be looking for.

Morden.

 

What about it doesn't work?

 

Thanks. I fixed the typo and I'll add a reset pin to the segdriver (I think it was originally planned but slipped my mind).

About the chunk loading. It's not true The only thing that was eventually added was to make sure that once a chunk is loaded with circuits in it the output levers of these circuits are updated to match the current state of the circuits (which could have changed while the chunk was not loaded). A chunk loading circuit of some kind is planned for next BC. You could probably trigger it directly with a transmitter so it should work the way you want.

 

I didn't exactly mean a reset pin, more of a blank pin. So If that pin is held high the segdrive ignores other inputs and just outputs nothing.

This may be what you meant, but I just wanted to clarify.

 

Any news on an update to 561+

Thanks

 

So I realize that this plugin has the capability to decrease the footprint of redstone, and I was thinking of how to apply this to a minecart destination selector.

 

Hi Badzilla, probably by the end of the weekend...

@mistapaluza Shouldn't be a problem. I don't know how you build your destination selectors but if you have a specific question feel free to ask.

 

So figured I would post this to help anyone who is trying to make a clock.

Here are the calculations required to adjust for the +8hr time shift and to format the hour into 24hr, 12hr, 24hr BCD, and 12hr BCD. (BCD output is suitable to feed right into a pair of segdrivers). All comparisons are made against the raw hour value read from the daytime circuit. Negative numbers must be presented to the adder using two's complement. The adder may complain that the output may overflow, but is fine since you are doing subtraction. This reduces the whole problem to a single adder, 1 to 4 comparators and AND gates, and optionally a router to simplify sending the appropriate number to the adder.

Using this method, for 12hr BCD, it takes a 4 step process (add 8, subtract 24 if > 24, subtract 12 if > 12, add 6 if > 10) down to a single compare for range and add the appropriate number.

24Hr:
<16 = +8
>15 = +16
Requires 1 comparator

12hr:
<5 = +8
5 to 16 = -4
>16 = -16
Requires 2 comparators and 1 AND gate

24hr BCD:
<2 = +8
2 to 11 = +14
12 to 15 = +20
>15 = -16
Requires 3 comparators and 2 AND gates

12hr BCD:
<2 = +8
2 to 4 = +14
5 to 13 = -4
14 to 16 = +2
>16 = +16
Requires 4 comparators and 3 AND gates

Hope this helps someone.

Morden.

 

That is exactly my issue, I don't know the exact circuitry for a destination selector. All I get are JPEGs of redstone simulator.

 

I always get this error!!!

Is there a way to make the pixel circuit only work on wool that's directly touching the interface block? I wanted to make a digital clock but it's impractical if the interface blocks change the color in a 3x3x3 area around the block. it'd have to be impractically huge (each digit 9 wide and 15 tall).

 

Not as of yet, but would you be content with two wool blocks per segment? If so, look at the images in the OP. Pixels were modified to avoid bleed by requiring an unbroken chain of wool to the interface block.

 

It doesn't need to be 9x15.
w - wool block, 0 - a different block.

Code:

owwo
woow
woow
owwo
woow
woow
owwo

That's 7x4

Code:

owo
wow
owo
wow
owo

This 5x3 also works since the segment don't touch each other but it doesn't look so good.

 

Hi, this is a great plugin... Atleast the idea, apparantly. Everything bound to signs stop working when having SensorLibrary on, i couldnt understand why my circuits wouldnt work then checked the java error and decided to disable it, now everything works. But that's kinda annoying, cause i needed this addon for the time function in the first place heh.

 

I can't help without a copy of the error message. Of course there shouldn't be a problem running SensorLibrary.

Did you copy the RedstoneChips-beta.jar to your plugins folder? It seems craftbukkit can't find it and i'm not sure why. If you did, it could help if you wrote which craftbukkit build and RedstoneChips version you're using.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Apparantly works now, after i removed it and actually got a circuit working... I'll write back if it occours again.

EDIT: Could you perhaps explain how to do the clock? I think i had the point until it said 1 clock expected, but i have no clue where to put it... And im not sure im doing it right, would be nice with some more documentation =)

EDIT2: Kinda figured it out, i have some issues regarding which ones are outputting... But yeah, a beginners guide would be lovely.

 

The redstonechips-beta.jar is in the plugins folder and i have version 0.86.
But how could i look which build of craftbukkit i have?
Sorry for the bad english^^
