Hey, this is my first time going on a minecraft forum even though I've been playing since it was in alpha, and I'm pretty new to forums in general so sorry if I make any mistakes :P. I built a simple 4 bit addition and subtraction calculator with some ram and a 7 segment display which I came up with, but I just can't figure out how to make a 4 bit to 7 segment display decoder without it being horribly messy and large. If anyone has a good design that would be really appreciated.
Btw, if anyone wants me to help them on their server then you can pm me
Also, I'll take some pics of it so far if anyone's interested
(I also built a MUCH MUCH more compact chip set calculator that's 8 bit and can do the same thing, but it's not very user friendly)
This is a pic of the first calculator I made (SO MESSY) I'm not too good with redstone yet so I couldn't really finish a few things (4 bit to 7 segment decoder) or make it more compact.... at all XS
And here's the 8 bit calculator that's way more compact, but I couldn't figure out how to put in user friendly things like a numeric input and such BUT IT LOOKS SO MUCH MORE AWESOME
I know there are some relatively small decoders floating around. But they're slow and messy. Best to just go all out and build the standard decoder-with-program memory-feeding-7seg display strategy. Relatively fast and easy to understand.
Could you elaborate a little bit ^^ I didn't even though there was a standard model for this kind of thing 0,0
Back when I wondered how to do this, this video series helped me out. Now it makes total sense, but I assume this will be slightly confusing at first. Just try to work through it (or just download the schematic if you're not cool) and eventually it will make perfect sense.

Sweet Thanks!! From the looks of it, it's exactly what I need
Each rectangle being a module. Since you only need up to 5 bit, from the top right number that says B0, go to B4, and use everything under that. So use C11-13, and C22-23.
If you're curious on how this works, search double dabble.

Blue is input, red is output. There are four each. Download link for the module:

Set them up like this:
