Been playing around with some piston doors and I'm having a bit of a problem. I need a circuit that will power the pistons but can be toggled from either side. Right now if the outside lever is pulled and I'm inside I can't close the door. So I need a circuit with one output that can be toggled from two separate inputs independent of each other. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think a NOR latch is going to work. It has an input and a reset. I want to be able to open/close from either button regardless of what state the output is in.

What your looking for is refered to as an XOR switch. It allows two different switches to control a single output regardless of the other switches current state. A diagram of these logic gate can be found here Minecraft Wiki
Here is a screen shot of one in game if the diagram confuses you (they confuse me). The piston at the end of the circut represents the door your trying to activate.
Also I moved your thread to the general discussion section as it is not currently a creation.
Thank you very much! That picture did wonders! For some reason I just wasn't getting that from the diagrams and I'm usually pretty good at interperating them.
i was gonna suggest this too. i think T flip flops are much better. take less room than XOR gate, and i can use buttons (preventing OCD flaring up from levers being in undesirable positions lol)
I believe both answers would work just fine. I personally prefer switches so I always have a visible indication of the switches current state.
Yeah, both of them worked great. On a side note, is there a way to put a switch/button 2 blocks high without having the wire visible? Preferably just 1block on top of another. On my current project I'll probably be able to hide the wires in a wall, but I usually prefer buttons/switches to be 2 blocks high so it would come in handy to know If it's possible. And thanks again for all the help!
I'm not positive as to what your talking about but if you just want your input button to be two blocks high on the wall you should be able to run the wire out the bottom of the block on the revers side without any problem. There will be one block extruding on the back side because you have to run the wire out on the same level the button is on but from there the wire can be ran anywhere. The button provides power to the block and the block will power any wire directly adjacent to any of the five sides including the top of the block.

Best way I've found to do this is to make your wall 3 thick with the middle removed to hide the redstone..other then that I dont think you can place it 2 blocks high without seeing the redstone. I suppose if your room is only 2 blocks high you can run the redstone on the roof for stuff.
