Armadillo Run forum

Hello and welcome to the Matacus Design Contest #7
and the Silicon Valley!

I was looking through old spectator levels topics when I thought about theme for new Matacus. Thanks to Hypercubus and Thrack for inspiring me :wink:

So, the new goal is to develop a electronic scheme with different logical elements (finally, transistors in AR!). You have to design main logical operation elements (AND, OR, NOT, XOR; maybe more?) only, and you are to design cool scheme using them. For example, you can try to build primitive summator for two binary numbers. Designing scheme isn't obligatory, but it is very desirable

You may use whatever you want as signals in your scheme. It may be small armadillos (watch Matacus7 template level), or small rockets (watch Transistor sketch level by Hypercubus), or something different. Turn on your imagination!

Some help on logical operations:

Code: Select all: 1 AND 1 = 1 1 AND 0 = 0 0 AND 1 = 0 0 AND 0 = 0 1 OR 1 = 1 1 OR 0 = 1 0 OR 1 = 1 0 OR 0 = 0 1 XOR 1 = 0 1 XOR 0 = 1 0 XOR 1 = 1 0 XOR 0 = 0 NOT(1) = 0 NOT(0) = 1

Ask if something is unclear

Good luck, want to see your amusing schemes

oh man this is great!!!

finally! thanks nick.

wow, i wonder if a pulse generator can be made... or a flip flop!

OK!! I'm just have gonna have to bow out now with my dignity intact!!! Also, surely a NOT gate would be the nothing happening and as a consequence stuff happens, or the other way round??

?!?!?!?!!

:oops:

ah go ahead... i am to stupid to do it....

Flip Flop could be just 2 of Nicky's AND gates using rockets

If you want resets and toggle effect you are asking alot. lol.

This is a funny video as well. Wooden Mechanical Adder.

Well it is a bit slippery place... I thought about NOT gate activating by timer. If there's nothing - then it produces signal, and vice versa.

If it is too hard we can change the theme... With somebody other hosting, because I have no ideas more.
