Calculator

    I made a calculator and am pretty proud of myself (After my first attempt was a fail) so i decided to post it here to try and get it some extra publicity. It's a purely addition calculator and works in binary instead of predetermined swch combinations so you add as many numbers as you want as long as you don't go over the current limit (18). I'll increase the limit when i get more votes. I have to give credit to zbysa's bar code reader for the binary to decimal converter though. My save is:

    Niven:

    I'll increase the limit when i get more votes.

    As soon as I saw that, I was tempted to vote down. Vote farming is against the rules.
    Plus, there are already many binary calculators (even I have made one), so there is no suspense...

    Otherwise, I think it is good, however it is not space efficient (I'm a bit of a hypocrite there).

    Thats not farming, thats gimmicks
    but thats still against the rules

    Nice, but if you give it some NOT gates then it can do subtraction too :)

    EDIT: That won't work.

    I have calculators that do multiplication, division and addition. All into the millions and billions. I have binary to decimal converters that convert binary into decimal up to 68 billion. I also have a couple processors

    Neither of these saves have 20 + votes.

    So don't hold your breath for this one. Good first try though. Would be cool to see you make some bigger better ones in the future.

    First, I'm sorry I didn't remove the signs earlier. I kinda forgot I made this until recently, but they're gone now.

    @minishooz I have very limited knowledge about processing, and am not sure exactly how NOT gates will help. I know that it's something that has input and output, and sprk is constantly being supplied to the output (or can be made where the sprk being supplied isn't constant but comes out when a second "input" is sparked) and that sparking the input will temporarily stop the output.

    Well more complex but yes, when a calculation signal comes, if there is no input - spark output, otherwise dont

    I thought I already told you how to subtract binary in the convo tool.

    Well yeah you did, but mathamatically. I hadn't really thought about doing it using logic gates (cause of my limited knowledge of them). I was thinking more of making my own system that did it. Logic gates never crossed my mind
