Well... I finally got my hexadecimal version compacted and sped up, i THINK i got it down to a 2 tick input every 4 ticks like my base 2 to 15 version, i had it adding 2, starting at 1 so it would always carry a 1 and count up in odd numbers, and it didn't seem to slip, not sure how i was able to do it with the extra logic needed, to get a base 16 signal strength for comparison i had to disconnect the carry if the value is 0, since 16 is too big for a single digit, and i had to add 1 to the pla to make it proper. The being said, it felt like i was going in circles for hours, spinning all the wire to try and fit it without any extra pieces or crossed wires. I gotta go to work soon but if anyone would like schematics, just let me know and i will make them after work.

the orignal was 9 x 7 x 6 and the new one is 8 x 6 x 6, i guess it only looks way smaller because it has no carry ram, not sure how it stacks yet either.
Edit: crap, just noticed i forgot to put a solid block instead of the first lamp, so the lights are off by 1... meaning it's even and it was slipping, so it can add every 6 ticks, i knew something was off, not sure if anything can be cut down from there.
edit 2: k, well it isn't slipping but when adding evens, it doesn't jump from 14 to 0 before going past it up to 15, but it will maintain even/odd over the carry so this could still be a 4 tick throughput hopefully.
