I'm building a mountain side base where you flip a hidden switch and blocks move out of the way for a door to be pushed up, combining several different uses of pistons. I'm currently working on the redstone for the 4 block push up for the door and I think I have minimized the wiring as much as possible. And I already have a prototype of the opening for the base. Now to combine everything with the right timing and have it all reversible from inside the base.
Created that secret door thingy without tutorials. Also an almost fully automated farm, you only have to pull the lever, collect produce from a chute and replant the seeds.

[QUOTE=i-Lol;30955256]Can someone give me a clear video or set of screen shots on how to make the glowstone wall lights? I've been trying to do it and I need it for a surprise birthday thing today. I can do the floor lights but I can't seem to transfer that from vertical movement to horizontal. Again, I'm terrible with redstone wiring and I don't know anything about gates and latches and all that. But if I see how it has to be done I will be able to replicate it. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]
Hey man, if i've got time later i'll try make you an instructional video and include the world file.

Thanks. I decided to scrap that idea for the birthday surprise but the video and world file will definitely help for future use.
[QUOTE=ralle105;30939452]Now use it as a memory tape and make it loop some animation on a redstone torch screen![/QUOTE]
Done.
Here it is everybody, an animated redstone torch display controlled by piston based ROM (read only memory)

I'd kill for a voice like that, would totally hire you for voice overs and stuff :v:

This thing pales in comparison to some of the other stuff i've seen in here but i'm still pretty happy with how it turned out!

You should make the glowstone move when the lever gets destroyed it falls into a hole under it, so no evidence is left and they know where to place the lever.

Good idea, however i don't think that would work because the glowstone is part of the floor lighting system and will probably piss itself if i try to move it with a piston, i'll try later though, thanks for the idea!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around redstone properly, can anyone link a tutorial explaining how to have some parts of a circuit on and other parts off without having to use a button/lever more than once?

Use a NOT gate.

How would I go about having power permanently cycle around the circuit without any intervention?

Cycle round the circuit? Do you mean like flickering on and off?
Has anyone made anything with pistons that isnt just a door

Have you read anything in this thread other than this last page
[QUOTE=Jallen;30968453]Cycle round the circuit? Do you mean like flickering on and off?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, with individual parts on and other parts off, I have a simple circuit going that is kind of what I'm after (basically 3 NOT gates connected together), but they fizzle out after a couple of seconds :(

The easiest way is to do it is to have 3+ repeaters connected as the input to a not gate, then have the output of the not gate going into the repeaters.

I'll give that a read through, thanks!
e: I got a basic version working, it's probably pretty unoptimized but I'll keep at it: [url]http://i.imgur.com/VfMSz.jpg[/url]

Put a Repeater after the last gate to stop it from burning the torches out. That should probably fix it.

I made a stackable elevator, tough part is making it 'unstack'. Basically you can't do it the other way because of the fact that pistons aren't sticky unless they're powered
To clarify, basically since you don't need the pistons to be sticky to push. You can push each piston up incrementally until you have a tower of them. Bringing them down...that's another story :D

It's super NOT effective.

I'm taking the self building thing to a new level hopefully. Eventually I might have a creeper proof house if I can work out the best way to improve the repair speed.
I'll also have to make it much wider.
It relies on only one cobble generator at the moment which is why it is so slow, future versions that work as a home will have multiple.
