Redstone wiring

Since I could not see a thread about the subject I thought it would be a good idea to start one
I for one really suck at building stuff in minecraft, and therefore I have thrown myself into the endless sea of redstone wiring.. I would say I'm still a beginner and if anyone else here know of redstone wiring I think this thread can be used to talk about it and help each other with making diverse contraptions.

And to start out I would like to present one of my contraptions.
Its a bridge that uses the same technology as the door presented in the 1.7 trailer.

Here you see the bridge in its closed state, at the bottom is 2 rows with 3 sticky pistons each. A lever which ain't visible on the pics is used to activate the bridge.


Here you see the bridge in its closed state, what happened when I pulled the lever is that a current runs through 2 different wires, one of them going to the 2 rows of pistons, the second wire runs down below the pistons and actives 2 rows of 3 inverters (block with a redstone torch on the side), these inverters are connected to 2 more rows which is placed directly below where the pistons are going to end when they get pushed out by some sticky pistons which aren't visible on any of the 2 pics, when the pistons get pushed out the inverters are turned on and they push the blocks they are sticking to up 1 block. when the lever is pulled again the inverters get turned off first then followed by the pistons which are delayed with a few redstone repeaters.


It was quite simple to make this after I had practiced on making the door from the 1.7 trailer which was a bigger pain in the rear as it had to have inverters on both the roof and under the ground.

I'm also currently working on a challenge map where all my knowledge about redstone wiring is gonna get thrown in, so it wont get so long xD but hopefully it will grow over time as I learn more redstone wiring.

How about people start talking about redstone wiring which I created this thread for? xD

I've never actually learned wiring in Minecraft as it seemed too hard. It has however been a strong intrest of mine. Any chance of making a tutorial ??

I can write a small introduction to redstone wiring, but I'm not sure if I can teach you much, most of my projects are using the most basic of redstone circuits. but they work none the less. So in a few days you might see a tutorial on how to make the bridge from above with pictures and all appear here.

Ditto

Tonnes of tutorials on youtube and the rest of the internet if you want to learn about redstone.

Google is the answer

I've found this small smart trap on a minecraft server which I have modified slightly to make it more effective.
Here is a small tutorial on how to make it

Step one, dig four holes and put a piston facing up in each of them


step two. put a block which ain't affected by gravity on top of each of those pistons (stone, dirt & alike.) then put a pressure plate in the middle. when a mob then ends up down in the trap the blocks get pushed up and it cant escape, for higher chance of capture build it in a larger scale.

I look at tuts on youtube and google but i still cant make a fucking doorbell

Doorbells are just a switch, wired up to some note blocks, not that hard...

After I read that I tried making one.. its a bitch getting it all to work the way I wanted it.. and I ain't good with note blocks.. maybe it would have been easier to use a lever instead of a button.. but then it would have been harder to close it again.

u want redstone lessons i can help im good but not great i am mainly into makeing signs and stobelight halways and verious other nonsince



btw these speeds are while playing online games and hosting server and playing minecraft while streaming 3 movies

I only ever used Redstone for one thing and that was using pressure plates to make my front door open and close behind me automatically when i walked towards it.

So useless. But so awesome
