I just spent five hours building this...

[radnomguywfq3]

A 4 bit full adder circuit :O My very first useful digital circuit.

The schematic is really messy, I didn't spend a lot of time making it neat, and it probably has a bit of mistakes when I translated the expressions over to the schematic.

Really, it shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes to design this, I just haven't done it before so o.o

Are you becoming a electronics engineer or something? Looks confusing to me.

[noob555]

what's the round line under the or gate?

[Arhk]

Any type of engineering you do, you have to cover electricity stuff.

i think itz Boolean algebra and the structure seems like combination of AND, OR n NOR gates.
not sure though.

[bowlcut]

It just looks like a ton of square penises.
Seriously bro learn how to draw a straight line. You related to Michael J. Fox?

[radnomguywfq3]

what's the round line under the or gate?

Its an XOR gate. Output is only high if one input and not the other is high.

I can just give you the expression for schematic I derived from the truth tables if you want (if that is what you are trying to get from the schematic) :S

CarryFlagOut = CarryFlagIn AND (Ax XOR Bx) OR (Ax AND Bx)
Outx = Ax XOR Bx XOR CarryFlagIn

I literally just repeat that logic for however many bits I want to add. Only because there is no carry for the first bit, I just use the same expression only with CarryFlagIn as zero and you get a simple XOR and AND gate.

Yeah, it is boolean algebra, but those are XOR gates not NOR gates. NOR gates look like plain OR gates but with a negation bubble at the output.

The next step is to put this into minecraft :O

Not sure about that. I doubt boolean algebra would be of any use to a civil engineer.

Yeah, atm I am studying Computer\Electrical Engineering.

I will pretend to understand this schematic, apparently drawn by an ingenious 5 year old, and applaud your efforts.

use a ruler man,
looks like some smart stuff.

[The Reaper]

I'm currently studying in Electrical Enginering, and i dont even get anything on this scheme so use a ruler next time, and explain stuff.

At my school everyone had to do a semester on it.

I already did, in my previous response to Noob555's post. And it isn't that bad. I mean sure, the lines aren't straight, but you can deduce expressions from this. The gates are quite distinctive.

Designs for 4 bit full adders seem to be fairly consistent with each other, there really isn't much to explain other than to give the expressions I designed the circuit with.

ohh
Its a xor gate
I'm taking a digital electronics class myself! It's interesting.

Good job, theres some complex shit right there..
