Talk:Redstone circuits/Piston

= Torch logic = The point of this page was to show people faster and smaller circuits. When a circuit uses a torch for logic, it will not work at a fast speed. I think circuits that are smaller should be shown ASWELL as those which are longer = optimization = Most of these circuits seem terribly inefficient, they are to big and have been designed/chosen with no thought. here are my suggestions for optimisation:

not
this one extends down rather than across. most people have more space down than across

and
The and gate uses torches for logic and 2 repeaters so it is slow. an faster would be like this:

note that the repeater actuall points right

implies
This gate is hopelessly inefficient as it uses torches for logic. i am not going to do more diagrams as it is a pain but if you want some fast piston based logic gates, look here:  These currant designs look like pistons have been added for the hell of it

= Piston Moving blocks up and then back/forward and then down = I tried doing it, but it only works once. This is based on delay, but I have no idea how to make it work both ways. Cool12309(T 03:13, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

better piston clock
i found a way to make the piston clock faster, and you dont need the repeater! looking horizontally, 1/4 of it looks like this:

(the torch is closest, then the other stuff, then the wire on top is up and back one)

 * I don't understand the diagram. How exactly does this work? Father  Toast  00:38, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

is this better? Trvcic 01:24, 10 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Not really. Can you take a screenshot of it? As a side-note, I made two types of no-repeater/torch piston clocks while fooling around. They're weird and give a slightly glitchy pulse (only tried in SMP, could just be lag); they pulse ridiculously fast. Father  Toast  21:17, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

here's 1/4 of it:

the full version, from above:

finally figured out how to add pics *feels proud of self*

 * Oh, you put the first row of redstone with the torch instead of with the piston. That moves the block, but it doesn't send a pulse in SMP for some reason. Father  Toast  23:13, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
