I'm making a machine that I need to have 3 pistons side-by-side all push at same time. I want to be able to activate all 3 with one switch. It works for 2, with a space in between them (see below)
But when I put the third in the middle, the redstone line turns into this=
Is there some way I can set it up to work? It seems so simple & stupid, but I just can't figure it out. Please Help!

I blame Minecraft for the letters on my W, A, S, & D keys being completely gone.
Alternatively, you can power the blocks above and below the pistons. For instance, you could lower the middle block (right behind the piston) by one block, move your redstone back one block (so the 3 split trails are at least 2 blocks in length), make a redstone trail to the middle, and then cover it with a block. Both solutions work.
You could also just run a redstone line over blocks directly behind the pistons. When the red stone powers, the blocks will be powered, powering the pistons.

My Youtube Channel, feel free to give it a watch. Contains redstone tutorials and Minecraft Let's plays. I may also make you a sandwich too, but I doubt it. http://www.youtube.com/user/GuitarFlat

Yep, there are many ways to power pistons. My first answer would be repeaters, and then the second option would be the picture I gave, because I'm just trying to keep it as close to the concept the OP is trying to get to.

Can you show a picture so I can see what you mean?
Thanks, that will make it easier for me to make some things easier.
