Analog Computer - Car - 06-06-2017 Hello there, I've built an analog picture/music thingie, http://imgur.com/a/t2ma2 There's two signals that go out to the series of 8 AND gates, one that travels right and one that travels left. When the both of them overlap through an AND gate, a signal is sent to the redstone lamp/note block. When the left and right signals are in phase, a blinking dot appears in the center. When the left and right signals are out of phase in relation to the single tick pulse coming out of the clock in the middle of the picture, the blinking dot moves either left or right. When the left and right signals are out of phase in relation to themselves in the independant memory clocks on the outside of the main clock, the blinking dot will move either left or right continuously. This is an incredibly simple computer and can be miniaturised, it is math operated and can use clocks/tick cycles for memory. The signal can also be transported across a single line, but a signal splitter will be necessary. I hope that some of you can take away something from this simple premise and expand upon it! RE: Analog Computer - Car - 06-06-2017 I've upgraded my analog computer! http://imgur.com/a/jfzGN It's now a pseudo waveform synthesiser, there are four clocks for each signal, the four on/off clocks being 1 tick, 2 ticks, 4 ticks and 8 ticks in length. When not in use, the clocks can be turned off either by themselves, or as a whole, currently however, everything has to be done manually. RE: Analog Computer - optimo - 06-10-2017 It wasn't entirely understood. Maybe a demonstration can take this idea further. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, this particular contraption was built without any kind of circuit knowledge and I didn't really understand what I was doing lol, so I just assigned it those values which I was vaguely familiar with. The real name for this contraption is a ripple adder which you can find reference to on google/ |
