Jesus christ, what is it with these people? I'm as guilty of being a grammar nazi as the next guy, but when it's COMPLETELY obvious someone knows they're misspelling a word and doing it on purpose there's no point in correcting it. Nobody freaks out on someone for saying they want "moar (blank)" or when somebody says "lawl" or "ERMAGEHRD!"
this is very nice, btw, but excuse me for being a bit dim, exactly what does it decode? As someone who doesn't really understand electronics that much (and uses Minecraft more for "modelling" than building circuits) I'm not really picking up what it's actually for. To me it just looks like a lot of redstone and coloured blocks.
The decoder just converts binary to decimal. It's actually the simplest part of the machine, it just looks intimidating because it's often the biggest part of any circuit. From your post I don't think that was what you were asking though, I think you wanted to know the point of the circuit as a whole. The base is that an adder adds two binary digits, say 01 + 01, which is one plus one, it carries over into a full adder or line of them and comes out of the second adder as the sum, which is 10, or two. The whole point of the decoder is to turn something like 101011 (43) into something your display will read correctly, which can be a number of codes depending how your segments are aranged. In my case it would be 00110110011111, and it would show up as 43 on the display. The RAM, decoder, display, binary display, debugging, error notice and the other features are actually just add-ons more or less. The purpose of the circuit itself would function with only the use of the adders. (The things made out of orange wool)
Now giving tours btw, or help if you're a redstone beginner wanting to get into the more advanced circuitry.

Religion, has actually convinced people, that there's an invisible man, living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of the day, and the invisible man has a special list. Of 10 things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do ANY of these ten things he has a special place, full of fire, and smoke, and burning, and torture, and will send you there to suffer and choke and scream for all of eternity... But he still loves you.
I'll save that for the interactive part of the tour. I don't want to spoil it for everyone, but it will involve TNT. =]
Pwease no

If I did, I wouldn't save anyway. Besides, I don't think I'll get any takers. Anyone that was interested most likely forgot about it already, few people care about this type of stuff on MCXBLA. They all want traps, elevators, and doors. lol
