Hey guys I have a question for those of you experience player with redstone circuitry knowledge. would you recommend to lay out the circuits before or after the build of "X" I come across this every time I start to set up my circuits (I should have done this first) but I can't figure out how to build based of a wired up circuit lol.
Please any suggestions/tips on this would help me a great deal as for I have a lot of issues trying to wire stuff up when I have fully finished homes/buildings....
If your talking about building and having some piston doors, or some contraption inside/prat of; build the contraption first.
If your talking about the contraption itself. Start with the function first, and figure out the possible wiring from there. Wiring and building go somewhat in hand since you may need steps,repeaters for isolation or blocks or torches as you go.
The more you build, the better you'll get at planning and solving space problems trying to make something onto an exiting structure.
Adding stuff to an existing structure is always harder then starting from scratch. But as you use redstone more, solutions come more quickly. Dos that answer anything?

Yes it helps and I'm sure with time, this will become easier, but I'm very new to Minecraft and I have spent a lot of time on a couple of worlds that were started from release date, so now that we have pistons and such I'm trying to integrate circuits for pistons, hidden doors and stuff like that but it's proving to be very complicated, due to the fact that buildings themselves get in the way one way or another.
As far as new structures go, I will keep in mind that is good to build both "together" (structure and wiring) as I go along to make this less of a problem, though I'm still very new with redstone circuitry and I have to still rely on the very basic design of gates so it becomes hard to hide sometimes haha.
P.S. The T Flip-Flop gate has become my best friend

Also another question, would it be better to make double walls/floors for purposes of hiding/setting up wiring?
Thanks in advance!

is it this types of post that has gotten you nearly a 600 post count?
It doesn't surprise me that you don't understand what "X" stood for...
