THANK YOU. I was trying to make a two-switch system so I could turn on and off the lights from two different entrances in my huge base. Once you showed me how with that last logic circuit, I was able to retrofit that system into a 3 switch system that turns on and off the lights from any of 3 switches regardless of what the other switches are set to. Amazing what can be done in this game...
Awesome job, this gives me an idea of what to do. I am interested in a construction with a timer where I have several lights and only 1 can turn on at a time keeping the same pattern. Have no Idea how to accomplish that but this tutorial puts me in the right direction thank you
I spent hours trying to figure it out. Glad I did though I need to practice my critical thinking but I gave in and watched this. Lol thanks for the help got the answer I was looking for.
Just what I was looking for. Danke für die Schaltsysteme... Ich habe noch nicht alle Switches freigeschaltet, aber nun weiss ich, wie es funktioniert... 👍
Fantastic video! I'm new to logic gates and have some ideas, just need to learn more before I can attempt. Please post your progress so we can follow and learn to apply them in the NMS world.
The XOR gate is pretty slick. Though when used with switches on a garage door, it will run its closing animation twice if you use a different switch to close it from the one that you used to open it...but the end state is correct regardless. I guess the devs didn't fully account for XOR logic to be in use on the garage doors lol.
This is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen on power. Thank you. One question. Concerning the inverter, there is a red and a green side. In watching your video, it appears that it makes no difference which side gets plugged into the input power. Whether your input is on green or red, the effect of the modifier port seems to be the same on the output side. Is my observation correct?
Tekay37 Great. Thanks for the response. By putting different colors on the two ports, it makes it a bit non intuitive. And I saw a RU-vidr somewhere who gave the impression that it matters which side. My testing gave me the impression otherwise. Thank you so much for the confirmation. I love wiring up things in this game.
@@jeffhulrich Yes, also the name "inverter" is just wrong, because the switch doesn't invert anything. That just confuses everyone. The switches work like doors. If they are open, you can go through in both directions, if not they block your way. The only difference is how the switch changes its state between "open" and "closed".
Really cool...thank you....I see the wiring diagrams for physically created sequential lighting effects. Now...if we could only adjust physically ( like a rheostat) for frequency!! Thanks, b.
Question, if I want to build a banner\billboard with flashing lights where it constantly loops automatically, what do I do? For example, and Open sign that flashes light at a business in real life.
the reason i didnt get the invertor is because it wasnt an invertor, great showcase tho well done Timestamps 1) AND: 5:25 2) NAND 7:50 3) OR: 9:40 4) NOT: 11:20 5) Clock: 12:35 6) XOR: 13:40
very nice. paused while working on base (simple door with prox sensor) and after about 20 minutes i figured out what i did wrong. pressed play and not 2 minutes later it showed exactly what i had except with lever. tis a facepalm on my part lol
can someone please explain how the basic "button switch" works? I've been trying to experiment with all switches and cannot seem to power a simple light fixture using my stored battery power. I must be missing something. Power inverters, Wall Switches, etc all work yet a simple button switch nothing
You put a static current on one side if the button switch and when you press the button, the current will come out the other side for roughly one second.
Hi there Nice tutorial. I’d like to set a group of switches to turn on and off the power grid on the base. Like the last logical gate but with more inputs. I’ll try to do it. But it would be nice to watch it. Also, it would be nice if you can set the contraptions on real base applications. I got my NOT gate using a floor switch and an inverter to work as a garage door.
very confusing description (for me as an electrician irl) because when a switch is OPEN = there is no connection = light off / when a switch is CLOSED = there is a connection = light on! you described it the opposite way, which is false
For others, the technically correct way of explaining it would be confusing because you can't see those switches in the game and something being "open" is widely associated with things being able to pass through and something being "closed" is widely associated with things not being able to pass through. Had I explained it the other way round I would have to explain that part as well, which I think would have been more confusing for people who have no knowledge of that stuff so far.
So hard to swap that around in my head after so many years as a techie - switch is open/ current flows. Switch is closed/current stopped😱Think of it like water a little I guess🤔😊
@@Tekay37 Yes I never really understood logic. Flip flops etc, but I am technically minded, and your guide helped alot. And yes I had a feeling 'inverters' were inaccurately named😊I spent a considerable amount of time yesterday trying to make a simple two switch/one door circuit and I quit after six hours of experimenting and came to RU-vid😏 My base is on a frozen planet and my greenhouse has a door at the rear that opens outdoors to my exobay and I do not want a motion detector fitted to it. I want a standard wall switch both sides of the wall that will open and close the door either way from either side. Standard. I'm looking at your number 5 example and that is the one. Right?😁Nice work, once again.
Yes, I decided to not use the technical definition of "open" and "closed", but use it colloquially since people associate "open" with a door you can go through, for example.
You got the nomenclature wrong. When a switch is open, current shouldn't flow through it and the light shouldn't turn on. Otherwise, if the switch is closed (shorted), current's gonna move through the wire and light the switch.
