Right now, I'd say the main thing holding back large-scale electronics right now is one thing: The fact that logic gates are a right pain to make (especially the NOT gate). So I propose some new elements that would vastly help this, and they are:
ORGT - An OR gate
ANDG - An AND gate
NOTG - A NOT gate
XORG - An XOR gate
XNOR - An XNOR gate
All these would work the same, in that they take input from either another gate or one of the elements below:
PINP, NINP - Two types of input, these only work as an input though.
PSIN, NSIN - These are inputs that also act as their respective silicon types.
OPIN, ONIN - Works as a gate output (See below) as well as an input.
Note: For gates with multiple inputs required (eg AND and OR) one of each type must be used (Positive and negative). For the NOT gate, either will work. Input from another gate classes as a positive input.
Note 2: All of the inputs (except OPIN and ONIN) will only pass current to a gate or another one of themselves.
The gates would output either to another gate or to one of these elements:
OUT - Literally an output, transfers to any conducter.
OUTP - An output that acts like PSCN.
OUTN - An output that acts like NSCN.
OPIN, ONIN - See above.
What do you think? Any improvements?
Look me in the eye (figuratively) and tell me that we couldn't do better if we had one pixel logic gates.
At what point did I mention us? I know I can't do electronics very well. Anyway, the whole point of this thread is to say "No matter how well we can do at the moment, 1-2 pixel logic gates allow us to do so much better". That fact seems to have escaped you.
LBPHacker means that FILT can be used as 29-bit logic gates. The point is, FILT is a billion times better than these 1-bit gates. So I'm gonna look you in the eye, and say that adding these gates would be pointless :P
Um, 29 bit gates? Please explain.
@EaterOfCake welcome to the FILT world! Just check out the wiki page for FILT. No need to add 14 new 1-purpose elements
How about instead of adding these gates, make a new (and more comprehensive) guide in the Wiki section on how to make logic gates in TPT.
I personally dont know how to make them but would love using them (the best I can do is copy electronics and I dont like copying)
