First Ever: Electrical Component Identifier

    I know the name is really lame, I couldn't think of a better one. Anyways, this is the first ever Electrical Component Identifier. To put it simpler, you flood-fill the box with what-ever metal/silicon that it accepts, and it tells you what it is.

    Components it accepts: METL PSCN NSCN PTCT NTCT BTRY SWCH INWR

    Instructions:

    1. Choose a metal/silicon, and flood-fill the Diamond box.

    2. Next, spark the "S"

    NOTE: Only spark the "S" ONE time!!!

    3. Sit and watch it do its thing.

    4. Finally, it will display the results on the LCRY display.

    It auto resets when you hit the "S", but if you would like to, you can also hit "R" to manually reset.

    NOTE: Sometimes the auto reset doesn't reset all of the flip-flops. It is always a good idea to make sure that they all reset.

    ANOTHER NOTE: When you want to replace the tested material, you must make sure that it only takes what you put in, IE if you put METL in, to take it out you must make sure the "Prongs" are left intact. It is much easier to just reload the sim, but it's you choice.

    Please vote, I'm not asking for good votes, just vote and give you opinion. If you find any glitches/problems with it, drop me a PM, or reply to the thread.

    EDIT: DUH, I forgot a Link. lol

    This made me come all the way upstairs and onto the computer just to try it!

    EDIT: This is very awesome, but it takes a really long time.

    That is incredible! Amazing work. How long did that take you to make?

    Thank you, and to answer your question about 2 weeks, but it was off and on work, it really didn't take long to make the main parts, what took time was I had to redo the timing like I don't know how many times. Also the problem of not always reseting every time. and to be able to test for switch, I thought that was going to be the death of me. As you can tell, when you look at the spot on the bottom left side of the test box. That was just a nightmare! I'm sure that other people could have done it much faster or made it smaller, but I had fun making it, it was a very good challenge.

    Apparently Broken Metal is Battery.
