My word processor. - SoapyLynx - 08-14-2014
I'm making a word processor on school but I haven't thought it through all the way. I decided to have the bi-directional shifter have the reset locked on the inputs of the display but I just figured out; "Wait, when I shift to a different word input, the shifter will make the previous/all others refresh. How can I avoid this?? I was thinking having the shifter cut off inputs instead of keeping refresh on but I have faith that there is another easier way.

General data = Binary input (for example, let the letter E be value 101) -> Detection system -> decoder -> huge buss to all the screens -> AND gates -> memory on screen -> Screen.
Screen selector = Let the detection system (mentioned previously) shift 1 to the right when it detects an input. And then just use those AND gates to decide which display needs to be written to by ANDing the output of the shifter and data on the huge buss. And because you have memory behind the whole selection system the data will be stored once you move to the next display.

Sorry newo, didn't see this forum. But what if I just used a display design in which there is a toggle input?
