Okay so I'm new here and hopefully this is in the correct place and noones answered it before. I need an Iron Door to open with 2 switches regardless of the state of the one another. I know it's an XOR. Problem is it isn't working. In the 360 version you have to use a redstone torch under the door or it won't work. I had it working once after an hour of messing with it then forgot to save. I tried it again and can't get it to work. It all looks just like the pic so I'm at a loss. I've got the output heading on block under the redstone to one switch back up to the redstone torch under the door. I don't get how it worked once, but not now. Please help
easy u need to use the redstone repeaters / delayers. this only allows current to go 1 direction threw it. the switches both need to feed to a repeater that feeds to the door power. this way each switch will turn it on or off.
Unless u mean a 3way switch like some houses have (stairways) where no matte what either way any switch is thrown the light goes on or off. Example: bottom is down and top is down the light is off. bottom down top up = light on. bottom up top up light is off... etc etc.. This is a 3 way switch i think its called. Its easy to do in game just requires alot of space for the redstone.
if u need help with it hit me up on xb and i can join and help ya out. im usually home after 7pm est. my xbox is on 24/7 tho
I think I know what you're talking about. I made double iron doors that are opened by two levers. When both levers are up the doors are closed, when one is down then they're open.
The problem is you need one of the levers to reset otherwise it won't work. Reason being, the charge from one lever will offset the other levers charge. Your best bet is to use switches so the door will close on its own.
Unless the Levers can be toggled back to their off state remotely I'm not sure this will work. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd say my Redstone skill is about a 4/10, however, so you might not want to listen to me in saying that it will never work.
I don't know if this helps, but you could just use buttons.

XOR is a device which activates when the inputs are not the same, when only one is on. XOR is pronounced "exor," and is a shortening of "exclusive or," because it's OR excluding when both inputs are true. The output will turn when exactly 1 of the inputs is on. Adding a NOT gate to the end will produce an XNOR gate, which activates when the inputs are equal to each other. A useful attribute is that an XOR or XNOR gate will always change its output when one of its inputs changes, allowing for 2 switches to be combined to open or close a door, or activate another device.
It doesn't seem as if this would really work on your door. The door will only open when one of the inputs is on. So unless you have a way to turn the first lever off, the door won't open when you hit the first lever. However, if you use buttons, you push the first button, the door opens, the button resets, and the door closes. That way the second button will do the exact same thing. Levers are used for things that are either "always on" or "always off"..Also, you don't need a logic gate, you just wire the two buttons to the door directly.
