Making a piston door opened by dual activation of buttons [REDSTONE] - Games

Hello everyone, before I start, I want to say that I do know how to use redstone, and I have created immensely complicated cicuits before so spare the introduction. My and my friend want to protect our stuff so I decided to make a hidden underground bank vault. I know how to wire up the doors ect. But we want to make the main door only open when two buttons are pushed simutaniously. I cant think of any cicuit that can be activated when it receives 2 imputs at the same time. Its meant to be for security, nobody can steal stuff, including us. I had the idea of when the two buttons are pushed, a compartment opens up revealing a lever. Of course with advanced circuitry, I could just make the door stay open, but im unsure on going about that. Any ideas?

Make the button input signals run trough an AND gate and feed the result to the set of a memory latch. When both buttons are pressed (you have .9 seconds window), that sets the latch which then sets the door to open. Add a third button wired to the reset of the latch. When that button is pressed, the latch resets and the door closes.

Basically: A and B must be pressed at the same time to open the door. C must be pressed to close the door If you don't know how to make a memory latch, see this [url]http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Redstone_circuits#Latches_and_Flip-Flops[/url]

You say you know how to use redstone, and how you've created "immensely complicated" circuits, and yet you don't know how to make the simple components of a circuit, i.e an AND gate and a latch? Hmm...

And I would be proud to link some of my stuff. I just usually dont use gates, since I rarely come into a situation where I need them. There is usually a way to complete circuits without gates. It just takes a fuckload of time.

Like the others said, you could stick an AND gate attached to either a resettable memory latch (ie RSNOR Latch) or a T-Flip Flop. Also, if you are good with redstone then why didn't you figure this out?

Even I, a redstone noob, knew that an AND and a RSNOR would give you what you want.

So basically you're restricted to wire and repeaters.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;31230100]Even I, a redstone noob, knew that an AND and a RSNOR would give you what you want.[/QUOTE] The funny thing is that I'm a redstone noob too. But anyone with a minimum of logic/electronics knowledge will know that.

Couldn't you also use a toggle (from the wiki, not sure how it works) and a NAND gate?

Also here is what you need: (Just use the first frame, I've never use Redstone Sim before and don't know how to remove the other layers) Top two buttons are your door controls, the other one is to reset the door. Just wire the trailing redstone to your piston. [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/and-latch.gif[/IMG]

Where is my money, I found where you said it.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;31230941]Where is my money, I found where you said it.[/QUOTE] Don't think OP is ever going to post in this thread again. You should quote him in every thread he posts in and demand money.

Look, I posted. By the way, I was pointing out that I never said that I didnt know how gates work. I dont use them very often so when I thought of this I was a tad stumped. I never said I was a redstone god, because im not. I try to find a way around using gates, whitch isnt that hard most of the time, but in situations like this you need gates. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression there.

When you said you had done immensely complicated circuits before we expected you to be making things with gates. Not a orgy of redstone dust and repeaters.
