i have 2 7 segment display controllers, 4 bit (so it can count from 0-9, instead of 0-7) and i want to make a computer that can take 6Bit imput and show it on the 2 7 segment displays. is this even possible?
the current setup:
so yea, do you need enything else?
i am quite good with redstone, so i think this may be a tad over-advanced
Well you can try a simple adding/substracting decimal calculator. I was going to do that, but then other stuff got in the way. When I see other computers, I don't like how slow they are, so I'm kinda obsessed with speed. I managed to make the same kind of decoder you have there, into 2 redstone ticks. :smile.gif:
that doesnt realy answer my question,and i dont care about speed, as i coded a mod specificaly to make redstone faster (but causes lag on computers that can barely play minecraft)
also, in my vend computer (ceck my sig) i used my very own desinged decimal memory calculaters, that didnt exist untill now. i just need something that splits that gets the binary and splits it for the 2 digits.or how else do you connect 6-bit binary to a screen?
Looking at that machine I believe you are at the point where no one can really help you.
I take it you already went to the redstone compendium right? If you haven't you might find someone there but they wont help you perse they'll just brainstorm with you.
Just use a 6 bit decoder and put the outputs through a 7 seg display decoder (you should be able to count from 1 to 64 this way)
That would unfortunately require an incredibly large device, since it would have to handle 64 different lines. It would work, certainly, but I think the OP is trying to avoid that at all costs. He already knows how to make a decoder, what he's wondering about is something that can convert between Base2 and Base10.

Look here to find links to my inventions, creations, and my Youtube channel featuring Amazing Creations of Mine (Redstone engineering FTW!!!) and charming Music-Videos about clones. I also made "Minecraft in Minecraft" (2D platformer/building game). I'm currently trying to make a computer.
I would ask someone from the Redstone Development Foundation, link in my signature. There are some really advanced thinkers there that might be able to help you with your problem, if you still need help.
even though my new CPU is done (top link in the sig) this can still be vey handy!
i was thinking of some sort of subtraction thing with if gates, but again that is too complex.
it someone can figure this out, we can easily make a 5 digit screen!
6 Bit input to a 2 digit 7 segment screen? I did it a while ago:
What i used was a pair of huge decoders, 1 for numbers between 0-31 and 1 for numbers between 32-63, and i used the most significent bit to enable just one of them. If it were on it would enable the 32-63 decoder and off, the other one.
The decoders are just a lot of these:
In the example above, the input must be 10011 for the output to be 1. Now, one of these control one number that will be displayed on the screen. In the example above, if it were in the 0-31 decoder the output will be 19, if it were in the 32-63 decoder the output would be 51.

Hope this makes sense :smile.gif:
63 actually. There's 64 combinations, 0-63.
perfect! but it's exactly what i didnt need(and i already would have known how to build it), i was hoping for something other than decoders and encoders. perhaps there is someone on the forums who has knowledge of real computer parts and knows if it is even possible?

the idea:
IN- 6Bit
OUT- digit 1, 4Bit
OUT- digit 2, 4Bit
another expert? like who?

Just saying.
He's certainly got more knowledge than I do, but there are quite a few frequenters of that thread who make stuff like this - CX Gamer is included.
