Ohhh I was trying to figure out how the buttons changed function on each page, but I don’t know anything about electrical engineering. That makes sense.
The answer to this is a light dependent resistor as light sensor. See the holes on the top of the led. The page covers the light sensor, so it knows what page you're at.
@@VVv-ix2gxI have to say that the hidden functions will be confusing for many children and quite a few will *not* ignore it. A decent percentage will end up tearing it apart in an attempt to figure out where the "other" buttons/wires are.
Honestly Im sure a lot of ppl having Problems with gates would find this helpful. Being able to physically intetact with this makes it more "real" to some types of learners
They could also have used metal studs to pass the signal, but the photoresistors are much more durable and less likely to short out in the hands of a youngling.
this book helps so much, that i was actually able to pause and look at the latch and figure out what was happening step by step and i have no experience with any of this stuff. So cool!
Where was this book when I was a baby? Sheesh I wish I had this back then. What's very cool is that it has light sensors to tell it what circuit logic to use depending on what page you are on.
we use t-flipflops instead of latches. (i think) main difference being, the set input and the disable input are on the same input: its literally a lever but for buttons
@@link_team3855 Flipflops and latches are separate components with similar functions. I looked it up actually because I was curious, latches just aren't useful for most redstone machines. Comparators are really the first useful non-player input and they don't produce 2-bit data, copper lamps are the closest we've gotten to latches having practicality and even then.
Exactly what I thought. At first I thought each page position triggered a certain part of the hidden circuit by some mechanism in the book spine, but then I noticed the holes. Great idea!
I want to have kids just to get a book like this. It will take some time for me to be ready for that responsibility, that is, if I ever am ready. Oh, who am I kidding, I want this book for myself.

@@TheUnderscore_wow this generation is dumber than I thought, there’s like 3 things on the pages one being a led and your saying you didn’t notice them?? Jesus Christ save these kids
@@bankz724 Brother not everyone's paying attention to LED colours. I was thinking about the actual important content like the basic gates and the ways the book could differentiate between each page.
Joke on you - it is but in form of exercise circuits/cards. But they are more advanced as they have also things like switches, flip-flops, counters, mux and so on.
@@CeasiusC hell yeah it is. I have 14 years experience as a tile installer. But i get shocked every time i even touch a wire in backsplashs lol i need this book more than the 5 year olds lololol
Yep, my thoughts too. You could make it for a third of that price. I'll give them a breadboard instead. Younger kids will just slobber on it and not understand it, it's a gimmick for parents but not at that price.
Brilliant. I am 34, went to college for education and somehow ended up in a field involving satellite antenna path circuitry. At 28 I would have benefited from this book. 😂
You too?! I started in elementary education and switched to ee on whim. I figured welp, I may as well figure out what I really wanna do while I’m here.
Notice the holes in the top right corner? Photoreceptors. The book determines the button and light behavior based on which set of photoreceptors are reporting a true state. You open the pages and the combo of the sensors says "They're on the NOR gate page right now, so the light is bound by these parameters."
If he really were so smart, he would use less holes and they weren't be holes but contacts (considering how easy it is to cover a hole by accident and make the book provide wrong answers).
What's crazy is that I learned this stuff far before I saw this video in Minecraft, to be specific, a Minecraft special guide book, What's interesting about it is the restone section and how they use the same terminology for coding (like the book in this short) for the restone, and what's crazy is how they even made that thing in Minecraft and how I indirectly learned how to code just from making random Minecraft Redstone builds, neat!
To sme sa učili v 2 triede strednej školy. Mal som v tedy 15 rokov. Z týchto obvodov sme mali zostaviť normálne digitálne hodiny. Mali sme na to 3 mesiace času.
@@xoav Yes but that's differently from how I did it. I figured it out at school back in the day, we had these experimenter boards that had one AND, one OR, and one NOT, and I cobbled a set-reset latch together out of them. Ahhh... wait... I was under the impression the book used a XOR gate but it doesn't. You're right, that's the same way I was thinking of. Yeah that's how I'd develop it, start with an OR that's wired to feed back into one of it's own inputs. That gives you an "on" latch. To switch it off, you need to break that feedback, which is done through an AND with a NOT on the other input, so that when the OR feeds back "on" and the NOT isn't pressed, so also sending "ON", the feedback from the OR is let through. Then pressing the reset button flips the NOT, turning the AND off, and breaking the path between the OR's output and it's input. So yeah it is. Still, gonna be some clever babies!
If anyone is confused about how the latch works, the reset button puts out a constant pulse because of the Not gate. Because of this, it has its half of the And gate primed at all times it isn't pressed. When the set button is pressed, it passes through the Or gate which loops back to the other And gate. Upon doing so, both ports are powered, so the gate activates and allows a signal to pass through to the Or gate, completing the loop, and allowing it to be self sustaining. The second the reset is pressed, the Not gate turns the signal off, taking away a signal from the And gate, meaning it shuts off and stops feeding itself a signal.
I've been buying children's coding/STEM books to help me understand because the adult beginner books that I bought first were too confusing. The kid's perspective really works for adults!!!❤
I like to think it was a pun based off Xor like everything on their planet that normally has ER is spelled OR cuz of their name. It's ok to have comment section head canon right??
All you would need to make a similar book is just 2 or so buttons and a light that responds to the buttons and can light up different colours and whenever you flip the page the program for how the buttons change the lights state and colour changes to probably like a list of very simple programs in a list of them that are selected based on the page that is sensed that you’re currently on.
The way they made the book is also very simple. 5 sensors. When each sensor no longer sees the book it goes to the next mode. In succession btw. That is what the holes in the top left are for.
Right? It's simply a "Hey my condition is fulfilled, which fulfills my condition!" simply takes advantage of purely circular logic, which does the job well!
I dont get it at all. Wtf does ANY of this have to do with computer engineering? Each page is just buttons, a light and a word. I've reas this book now multiple times and know absolutely nothing more about computer engineering than when I started
@@misanthropic_shithead7438 I've learned that questioning the purpose of what I learn is less useful than just learning it, nodding my head, and moving on For these though, they're helpful for stuff like digital/electronic locks, lights, etc. Anything that needs to be turned on/off given certain requirements to allow for multiple outcomes. It's also really important for digital communication - all of which computer engineers are, mostly, in charge of
@@misanthropic_shithead7438 pretty sure its a troll acc, right? username checks out. anyway, if anyone’s wondering, these things are the reason you have digital devices
@CroqueNWO well I looked into it and I now understand that it's examples of different logic gates but I think it would be useful if the author would explain what logic gates are somewhere in the book 😂
This book is awesome. I don’t care if it says it’s for babies. It’s still a great learning tool for someone to understand. Love that they added the and/or gates.
How is it a "learning tool" in any way shape or form? It doesn't explain anything. Having a page with a button amd a light explains absolutely nothing about computer engineering. I've watched this video multiple times and I know literally nothing more about engineering than when I started
@@misanthropic_shithead7438 I mean, I think he was maybe meaning as a visual aid with someone explaining it or a supplementary book? I have a comp sci degree and this would genuinely make it easier to explain the concept to someone. Either way, calm down, sweet cheeks. You’re really leaning into the edgelord handle you gave yourself 😚
@@misanthropic_shithead7438 I agree, it doesn't teach much. It's great for demonstrating all the basic logic gates as well as their standard symbols though. It seems like a good visual aid as supplement to learning about the gates and how they are used.
My technology teacher from middle school showed something like this but more practically to all students, if I remember correctly. It's been more than 10 years ever since that lesson and I remember also learning the symbols.
Already feel like an engineer. Me sitting here 5 minutes being convinced the last one is totally wrong before finally seeing there is a NOT right behind the red button -.-
Can't wait for July, I really need my Vault Hunters fix. One suggestion that might be really nice if you're going to add unique rooms that you can only get from unique inscriptions would be like a Garden of Eden room. It would be Omega, and instead of chests there is a tall tree, like the tree house room in the old version of the game, and the tree has fruit and/or colored leaves that a hoe works best for harvesting. The way I see it, this new room would be killing about a dozen birds with a single stone. The fruits from the tree would be Vault fruits that you can never have too many of, and it would finally be a way to get vault pears. Like you could have it guaranteed that one pear spawns somewhere in the room. The colored leaves could be like treasure sand. And in future when you're wanting to introduce more unique items, the leaves could be one way you get them. It finally provides a specific use for vault tools to have reaping. Instead of just having it be your chest breaker so it won't mine other stuff. I always liked that Tree room and was sorry to see it go. And if you wanted to go really fancy, you could have four different versions of the room sort of like the villager room. Where each version is a garden of a specific god, with specific rewards and things aligned with each god.
Fun fact: my kitchen lights act like an XOR gate due to how they're wired. The kitchen has two light switches (one at each entrance) that both connect to the same light system. The lights turn on only if *either* of the switches are on, but not when both are.
Back when i was a child, books like this doesn't exist yet, this is around 1998 to 2000s. I learned the circuit by playing with Snap Circuits, which you can make lights, fans, and actual working radios, or combine them. I think modern iteration of Snap Circuits probably has a bit more parts to make more circuit boards
