Tutorials/Instant wire

Instant Wiring is a glitch found in Beta which allows for Instant Redstone repeater, and Logic Gates to be created by players.

The First Redstone Repeater
A Instant repeater was first made by Tavirider via Youtube. It was made from two torchs, a sticky piston, and a block. When power from the input line came on, the ouput line remains on. But when the input turns off, the repeater shoots out a off-pulse then turns back on. This was revolutionary, but not very practical.

The First Logic Gates
So basicly what Tavirider did with his instant repeater is he made a clock, and the different varibles were on, or pulsing. So he could make simple logic gates. Check out this video for more info.

The Redstone Instant Repeater
This new design of a instant repeater was released by SethBling via Youtube. It is somewhat compact, and it could repeat the signal instantly. It did not send pulses like the previous repeaters, so when the input is off the output is off. When the input is on, the ouput is on.

NOT Gate (¬)
A device that inverts the input, as such it is also called an "Inverter" Gate. It is very similar to the repeater, just it has a few things switched around.

OR Gate
A device where the output is on when at least one of the inputs are on. This is very simple. All yout do is combine the two input lines before the repeater.

NOR Gate
A device where the output is off when at least one of the inputs are on. Almost the same as OR Gate, except combine the lines before a inverter.

AND Gate
A device that requires both inputs ON for the output to be ON. Basicly a AND gate is a inverted signal hooked up to a NOR Gate. Easy to make and VERY big, But instant.

NAND Gate
A device that requires both inputs ON for the output to be OFF. Basicly a AND gate is a inverted signal hooked up to a NOR Gate, then into a inverter. Easy to make and VERY big, But instant.

T-Flip-Flop
A memory device that switches between on and off with each pulse. In simple terms, you can make a button work like a lever. Very compact design, 100% instant, but works on the end of the pulse. So to make it work on the start of the pulse, put a inverter before and after the T-Flip-Flop
