Step 1: Place the gates themselves. For example, to make a full-adder, you need 2 XOR, 1 OR, and 2 AND.
Step 2: Plan the connections. Is your diagram simple enough to use wires or is it too complex and needs wifi to avoid intersections?
Step 3a: If you are using wires, make inputs with wire - E2L Lever - logic wire. Connect these to your gates with more logic wire and ensure that each connection only touches 1 of the gate's 8 neighbors. Then, use output on one of the neighbors of the gate and connect that to something else via logic wire.
Step 3b: If you need to use wifi, make your inputs first with wire - E2L Lever - Logic wire - Logic Transmitter. Choose a channel (name) for your input. Then, connect all of the gates that need those to a receiver and logic wire set to the same channel. You may also funnel the output of a gate through a logic transmitter.
Step 4: Once everything is connected for the main circuitry, make your outputs with a Logic Wire - L2E Constant - Wire.
Step 5: Use shock tool on your various inputs to toggle them and see if they work as expected.

what is logicates.js
ur mod?
like a machines mod?
logicgates.js is a mod that adds logic gates that i made

show a picture of the tutorial <:moji_despair:1079506855811891211>
um
okay?
step 1: gate layout
step 2: "the plan"
step 3b: wifi
step 5: testing

i put logic wire connected to output and nothing happens when i shock it
jesus christ what is that giant block of red
ok all logic gates and outputs should be 1 pixel max
logic wires should idealy be 1 pixel wide at max but it doesnt matter due to my fabulous electricity system
shock doesnt work on logic wires because they dont use sandboxels electricity. this is why E2L converters are needed
stormy-gold•15mo ago
update: i found out i needed wire, not logicWire for it to work
stormy-gold•15mo ago
woah it really is flawless
yep
stormy-gold•15mo ago
wifi is kinda hard to use because its hard to remember where the signal goes and if you don't use wifi you get overlap problems because the game is 2D
my recomended solution: draw lines between reciever-transmitter pairs like this
stormy-gold•15mo ago
you gonna add this?
.. nah
just use debug to check the channel
stormy-gold•15mo ago
or what about a feature where hovering over a transmitter/reciever shows the channel name in the bottom right corner
good idea
ill make that a f e a t u r e
stormy-gold•15mo ago
is there a solution to always having to put a line of wire and then E2L button and then logic wire?
its annoying to do this every time i want to send a charge
stormy-gold•15mo ago
you could add a thing where shocking a logicWire will not shock but instead will set the charge to active
i could add a logicshock tool
stormy-gold•15mo ago
or make shock switch to the behavior that logicshock would do if shocking a logic wire
(doesnt work if channel name is too long)
stormy-gold•15mo ago
is there a mod to zoom in?
if there isn't you/someone else can make one so that its easier to build logic gates
but make it a seperate mod (like zoomer.js or something) so you can zoom without having to have logic gates
actualy...
forgot to add quotes hold on

wooo
stormy-gold•15mo ago
i shocked the left side of the bottom wire and it stays on and not turning off
umm. yea
thats how logic wires work.
they are toggle instead of pulses
stormy-gold•15mo ago
oh
because, spoiler alert:
it is a PAIN to get logic to be good with pulses
its toggle for your own sanity
stormy-gold•12mo ago
good
what is lstate 0, 1 and 2
-2 represents an uncharged spreader
-1 is an uncharged buffer
0 is uncharged
1 is a charged buffer
2 is charge spreader
conscious-sapphire•12mo ago
Full adder, although it seems its already been done but still pretty fun.
nice!
why does each input have 2 wifi
stormy-gold•12mo ago
no answer
conscious-sapphire•12mo ago
My bad I was at school I'm not sure what you mean by wifi but every input has 2 outputs if that's what you mean
a transmitter can transmit to multiple receivers that have the same channel
conscious-sapphire•12mo ago
I see that makes sense. Could be optimised
stormy-gold•12mo ago
sandboxels officialy goes in the "logic sandboxes" folder
stormy-gold•10mo ago
👍
what's a buffer
buffers are used to help prevent charge mixing as well as help remove the randomness of sandboxels

I'm trying to use the E2LLever module, and that one isn't working. I've got regular and logic wire connected, and the reguar wire is powered. Am I doing something wrong?
I now realize this is an old thread, so I apologize for opening it again.
its all good!
the levers and buttons are a bit finnicky
ill probably change them
correct-apricot•4w ago
Ah. Guess it's a bug, then?
most likely
correct-apricot•4w ago
Right. In the meantime, I may have found a possible workaround. I gotta experiment, though...
frozen-sapphire•6d ago
how do u use a not gate
same way as the others
logic wire for input
logic wire next to "output" next to the gate for output
frozen-sapphire•5d ago
are you sure about that
what is that
list the pixels you used in order
frozen-sapphire•5d ago
battery-wire-e/l lever-logic wire-not gate-logic wire-l/e const-wire-red led
bro
you dont have an output pixel
you've just given the not gate 2 inputs
frozen-sapphire•5d ago
what
bru
logic gates can't assume which wire is supposed to be input/output
which is why output pixel exists
frozen-sapphire•5d ago
ok
why is it sometimes giving power even tho its input is on
nvm
