    hello, I'm new to the website, I recently learned about other peoples saves and I'm interested in learning more about electronics, I looked at the wiki, but it didn't help much. If you any tips you could pass on to a rookie (or noob, if you perfer) then please tell me.

    I Reckon being able to make a PCSN/NCSN/METL Loop would help, maybe try constructing logic gates?..

     

    I Don't know Maybe some experienced redstoner electrician can help

    Advice:

    Stare at this for awhile and figure out how it works.

    Then figure this one out.

    Then, finally, figure this one out. Then you'll have all you'll need to know.

    it really isn't a good idea to start with the insanely complicated stuff. There is more complicated things than that if that's what you want to do.

    hello again, thanks for the help, but the only two of you who really seem to be taking this seriously is coenmcj and jacob1, thanks to you two. I liked co's idea, can someone explain how to make some logic gates.

    have you read https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Basic_electronics.html ? And I would start with logic gates. That's what I did when learning redstone. I don't do much tpt electronics. Elements like SWCH are important to know how to use and are used a lot. wifi is also important.

    Did you just criticize me, come to think of it I mde one of those saves.   Ok, logic gates.

    It really helps when you look at saves around you in electronics.  I self taught all I learned. 

     

     

    EDIT: Oh yeah, 16 second post differential/

    thanks, I'll use those logic gates to help me learn, and I think I looked at that page you suggested jacob, but will look and see.

    Edit: can someone tell me how to use open a save on this website, I've tried before but it wouldn't work for me.

    inside of tpt, press Ctrl+i. This is called "installing tpt", it just writes things to the registry so that you can open saves from the website. After this, press 'open' on any save you see. This might not work in tpt++, I heard installing on that is broken. In that place, click the save title to see the page for it with all the comments and stuff, and copy the save id at the end of the url. In tpt, type either "id:XXXXXXX" into the save browser, or "!load XXXXXXX" into the console, where XXXXXXX is the save id.
