well now I just feel silly
I can not for the life of me get pistons or redstone to work properly. :v:
I'll just keep practicing.

Dude I did that double piston thing 11 days earlier >:[
But that extra block at the end is what's awesome
double piston maan
[QUOTE=Galago;31161391]Honestly, hiding the wires of a reasonably complex piston contraption is just as hard, if not harder, than building it.[/QUOTE]
I've found that what's harder than making the contraption itself, or hiding the workings, is getting the damn button / switch / whatever wired up while keeping it hidden.

I always build my structure, then try to make something with pistons..and then realize "FUCK! I DON'T HAVE ANY SPACE FOR THE MILES OF REDSTONE THIS REQUIRES!"

build your pistons first and then build around that. gives you more space to work too.

now add lights.
2 or 3 things i made using pistons (i'll go more in depth to how the redstone was placed in another video)

New video is down the page a bit

I didn't notice anything change when you did the surprise switch?

I like how you flicked the switch, nothing happened then crickets churped, I don't know why but it made me laugh.
Me and my friend made a tap using pistons.

It's pretty simple but I think it looks awesome.

Fuck, youtube made the video darker, i could clearly see it before, wait, i'm gonna fix that
[B]EDIT:[/B]
Fixed it, uploading now

It's day this time so you can see it better

Replace all the blocks with Netherrack, so it looks like a massive gullet/oesophagus convulsing.
[QUOTE=medal-12;31175614]It's day this time so you can see it better[/QUOTE]
I could see it in the first video, but it took me a while because of how dark it was, and even then, it was hard to see. Thanks for re-recording it. It's much easier to see now. :smile:

Explained my piston house from about 5-7 pages back. Explanations are bad unless you already know what you are doing with redstone.

Lol..compress it. Use xvid or something

You should have told the guy talking that you were making a video. It was bothering me and I felt bad for him.
[QUOTE=PieClock;31181280]Takes me 20 minutes to upload a 200mb file. :([/QUOTE]
Oh I was exaggerating with 20 minutes, It would probably take a few hours to upload it. Can you guys tell what's going on in the video? I'll reupload at much better quality if not

I apologized afterwards, I just didn't want to inturrupt the video. He was fine with it.
I finally figured out how to make that hidden door thing from the original 1.7 piston video:

It's probably more complex and bigger than it needs to be and not as easily hideable, but I figured it out on my own.

How would I make a power source that A. activates instantly from a inverter, and B. holds the power for a few seconds? I tried wiring it directly, then having another redstone line go through some delays to hold the power, but it didn't work.

Perhaps the inverter could then go to a RS NOR latch, then when that goes on, it turns on power to one side, which also sends another signal to through some delays on another line that eventually hits the reset side.
I don't know exactly what you meant but that may work.
Basically, I have a door that I would like a warning light for on the control panel. When I push the door open button, the light turns on immediately, because I split the signal. However, only about half a second after the door closes, the light turns off. If I use diodes to keep the signal going, then the light takes about 2 seconds to turn on after the door closes.
