Talk:Tutorials/Mechanisms

So I decided to test eh "flashing light indicator" mechanism and found that it didn't work. Could anyone else confirm whether or not it works for them? We wouldn't want a broken mechanism on the page :\
 * This "flashing light indicator" is very crude mechanism, so it will flash only few times. If you want make something smoother, you should connect pressure plate to RS NOR gate (don't forget to make reset button), then make a 5-clock (or any other clock, but not Rapid Pulser), then connect output of clock and output of RS NOR to NAND gate, which will be connected to input of torch.
 * It was only meant to flash a few times, then stop, to negate the need for an off switch. Crude, but imho effective.

=Canons and Boats= My brother said when he launches a boat from his cannon it will drop multiple sticks and pieces of wood (way more than normal). Can someone confirm this? Matti-Koopa 14:53, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Is it just me or have they changed TNT so that it is not swept away by water thus making canons much harder to create? Zinob 19:03, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Pictures
I feel that pictures of the mechanisms and how they work would be extremely helpful to anyone first learning about these --Magitrek 15:02, 13 December 2010 (CST)

Light Sensors
Mentioned light sensors and gave a link. Needs to be explained more thoroughly. Maybe mention light sensors on flower and mushroom wiki pages? Bumber 03:32, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Flower and mushroom pages now mention light sensors and link to this page. Mechanisms page still needs a discription instead of just a link to a forum thread. Bumber 05:26, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Retractable staircase
Should the retractable staircase shown in the piston demo be included? -[user:kingleonidas1234] 6:45 (MT)
