Hello everyone. I've just started my first experiments with redstone and got my double doors opening and closing nicely. Except that I would like to be able to have a switch on each side of the doors that operate in such a way that toggling either switch will toggle the state of the doors. After some research I discovered that an XNOR gate with the switches as its input would be what I need. The output of the XNOR would then be split, with one side going to a NOT gate to deal with the whole backward door thing.
I failed horribly in my attempts to make an XNOR gate. I believe that I am just misinterpreting the schematics somehow, but I don't see how that is. At any rate, my failure has produced some interesting results.
See below:
I would love for someone to perhaps explain what is going on there. PLEASE, before you attempt to give advice, read the video description as it relays some important details.
P.S. How do you get youtube videos to embed properly on this site?

Hi, i'm a scientist, from the NASA. I can make science, so I tell you as a pro, Minecraft is not laggy.
You need to look up how to do the gate that you're trying to build. You have it wayyyy wrong.
Okay, you see, I knew that already. In Information Theory, we would say that your message has an information content of zero. Thanks for wasting space.
What you see there is an attempt at figuring out why the gate I had made, while following a diagram, was not working as advertised.
What I need is someone giving me a better explanation, or maybe even a picture/video, that shows me what a proper XNOR gate looks like.
What I would like is someone telling me what is going on in that video.

Look at what you built and look at what the diagram tells you to build. They are clearly two separate things. Just from 10 seconds of your video I can see that your lines are all crossed, which is sending mixed signals and giving you flashing results.

There? Is that "full of content" enough for you?
Yeah, I kinda figured that. I'm going to link to you the diagram I followed, which shows the damn lines close together, which would have them cross. I figured that it would be a problem but hey, what do I know?

Got it working. I apologize for all the trouble. FYI it would probably remove confusion if it explicitly stated that unless the schematic shows a connection (with a line going in that direction) that there should be extra space to prevent the connection.
Obviously the schematics were drawn that way to save space, but it creates confusion.

You don't need to add extra space. Although occasionally you do need to build them facing a certain direction (though that's usually the ultra-compacted forms, not these generalised ones), the schematics show the correct size. That's just not what you built.
