Minecraft: Memory Cell Tutorial

[elon92]

AWESOME YOU ROCK THANK YOU! :D :D

[minecraftinfinty]

so its a on and off but with a button that stays on

?

[cmasupra]

@minecraftinfinty Basically. There are many applications of this, so it's not as useless as I made it seem in this video.

Its also called an RSnor latch andbit gives u 1 bit of memory (1on or 0of)

[The1717awesome]

so basicaly a t flip flop gate

[cmasupra]

@The1717awesome Nope. A memory cell holds a value that can be toggled with 2 buttons. A T-Flip-Flop is a toggle-only switch that is toggled with 1 button.

[AdorableChipmunk]

@The1717awesome Actually it is simply an RS NOR latch. A t flip-flop is a single button that toggles the output. You might be thinking of a d flip-flop, but that is an input with a clock that either allows the output to be set to the input or not.

thanks

[derick1259]

One question - How do you reset for the output to be 0 again? And I don't mean by going to the torch and replacing it, I mean, can I make a button that resets everything?

[cmasupra]

@derick1259 To reset it, have a button that goes to the other side of the memory cell circle. You can also make the same button act as a toggle if you prefer, which I did in my "Multipurpose Button Redstone Tutorial".

[DKenobi1]

Legend: 1 Memory Cell = 1 Bit. 8 Bits = 1 Byte. 1,024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte. That's as far as I'm going to say, as even one KB of simulated RAM in Minecraft takes up the whole map. 1 Megabyte(1,024 KB) is impossible without a Map Editor to make the world larger.

Thanks Man!!

[yourmother438]

how do you make it close with pressing the button?

[cmasupra]

@yourmother438 I have a video on how to do that.

watch?v=jdK7_4oO0ck

[yourmother438]

coooool!

[ottosweden123]

But, how do you connect them with eachother to make a memory?

[TheAverageChannelx]

This is an RS NOR latch, right?

I had a question, I've seen the Voxel Box make a redstone ticker uswing memory, how does this store info?

[cmasupra]

@TheAverageChannelx Using a whole bunch of these memory cells. And I'm pretty sure it's called an RS NOR latch, but I'm not sure since I've never used real Comp Sci terms.

[Noobioh]

is 1 memory cell 1bit(for like making computers)?

[cmasupra]

@Noobioh Yep. 1 memory cell = 1 bit. It only has 2 states (on and off), just like a bit only has 2 (0 and 1).

[hurricane04343]

Great tutorial. I needed this for the adventure pack. Thanks for explaining it well instead of just showing the setup which I could find out myself like other tutorials

[WHAMofHM]

wouldnt it be sooo much easierto just use a lever? lool

[spwhitehurst2014]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[0428733]

I love your tutorial, short, informative, and totally helpful, not like some other 10+minutes tutorials with people more interested in bragging than teaching.

thank you I can finally understand the workings of the memory cell

[dabom0282]

How do you make a butten work like a switch a toggable butten

[cmasupra]

@dabom0282 I'll be making a video on that. I just made a togglable button in Minecraft, so I will record the video when I can (probably this weekend).

[dabom0282]

@cmasupra Thank you

[ChaosZero314159]

@dabom0282 Look up t flip-flop for minecraft

[dabom0282]

@ChaosZero314159 I know ive figured it out

[EnoRM94]

And then how do you reset it?

[cmasupra]

@EnoRM94 Connect a wire to the "back" portion of the circle (the portion that is on by default, off when the memory cell is activated). Put a button or something on the end of that new wire. When you push the button, the memory cell will reset.

[haratofu]

Ah, perfect. This will work well for my trap. Thanks for putting up this video; it makes much more sense now.

[cmasupra]

@haratofu I'm glad my tutorial made sense and helped you!

[TheRelikz]

this is basically  much an RS nor latch

[Z3bProductions]

thanks dude

[MidgardGuitarwarrior]

This is just the thing I need for my lava trap with floodgates and pistons :P

A very nice one I can say :)

[kuthegorix]

hey Camasupra im trying to learn how to make a computer in minecraft first i would like to know is this memory cell considered ram? and also how can i link it

[cmasupra]

@kuthegorix I don't know how to build an ALU/CPU in Minecraft. I believe many memory cells are used as RAM and the reset button on the creations resets them.

[cheeseywonder99]

Is there a way to make a memory cell reset after a certain amount of time, with say repeaters? 

[cmasupra]

@cheeseywonder99 Yes. Have the button split in 2 directions. 1 goes to the off portion of the memory cell circle. The other goes to some repeaters and then the on portion of the memory cell circle. More repeaters = more delay. Watch my "Custom Button Delay Tutorial" video to see an example of it.
