(...) Okay... I've added arrowheads to each line showing air flow direction. The switches are set up so that the center port is the conventional inlet, and the top and bottom ports the outlets. I say conventional, because I don't always use it that (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Wow. Thank you so much for the acknowledgement, Kevin. I am genuinely flattered. I've got a bitmap made of the schematic for my 13 switch full adder.

(...) You are welcome, and thanks Robert. The full adder has three inputs A,B and carry in, and two outputs sum out and carry out. SumAB = A XOR B Sum out = SumAB XOR Carry in Carry out = (A AND B) OR (SumAB AND Carry in) You need a total of 2 XOR (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

I created Mark Tarrabain's single pressure/single piston AND gate and have it all four possible input states. In this case I use rubber bands to compress the pistons, but this is not the only way to compress the pistons. (URL) is a picture of my (...)
