Hello, I have been going through the Minecraft Wiki learning the redstone logic gates and their uses. Recently I have come upon circuits called "bit adders" which seem to be heavily used in more complex systems. I didn't quite understand the Wiki (that's not surprising) so I went around to other sources on the web and haven't learned much other than it adds inputs together in binary to produce a sum. My question is how is this sum represented and what is a bit adder used to build? (what would I use it for) Thanks for any reply's!
I'm curious about this too, a lot of redstone related stuff just goes over my head no matter how many times I read the Wiki. Although I did see a sort of guide on this forum that explained some of the logic gates pretty well (not sure if it explains bit adders though).

I don't think so since I searched bit adders and got bubcus. I have to agree with you about the wiki, there is a real nice guide posted back on the main forum page that does a great job at explaining basics.
That's it, guess I was mistaken, thanks for posting it though. Is it just me or are we not able to lay down restone wire and make it go up blocks? I tried this in a restone workshop I set up to learn more about it and it just wouldn't take.. Xbox version of course.

You place it adjacent to the block and then to make it go up the block you place it on top of the block you want it to go up and it will self connect.

Sadly the guide doesn't have anything on bit adders. I thought I should probably post it there but I took a look at what they were talking about and thought to myself " If I post it there, there gonna think i'm retarded ( 0_0 )" so I thought I should try here first.
I get what your saying and I'm going to make one in my testing grounds and give it a go so I can get a visualization of it. I'm really glad to know it's purpose so I can make use of it. Thanks so much!

No problem, though I'm surprised you understood the diagram. I though it looked wonky. Anyway keep learning redstone, it makes minecraft much more fun and brings a great sense of satisfaction when your device works.
