Minecraft: The "Science" of (my) Piston Elevators : Part 2

2nd in a series of videos which explain how my elevators work.
This covers the "Advanced" pulse sequence you need if you want to drive your elevator by powering 2 levels at a time.
It may not be immediately obvious why you'd want to do that.. but ultimately it allows you to save quite a bit of space.

My latest "Ultimate Mk5" (The Slim One) uses exactly these methods to make the car move.

This is amazing - never knew about the 'pulses' before I saw your tuts.

Could see a lot of uses for these. Can't wait for Part 3.

Also, is it possible (albeit with a LOT of wiring) to have an inch-worm that is 2x2? Or even 2x1? Or would the wiring get in the way of itself.

Thanks for these great vids man, very well explained.

@TheBandNova Check out the Multi-floor one, or "The Big One".. they are both 2x2.

It does require some extra wiring to get the signals round to all the pistons, but it is possible.

[satansdawg]

can you upload this map?

[DaftasBrush]

@satansdawg I plan to.. probably after Part 3, when it's got the "evolution" of the Spirals all laid out nicely.

I feel like there is so much besides elevators that could be done with this.

[DaftasBrush]

@WickedAwesomeEric Well.. if you think of anything... let me know ;o)

[MegaKillghost]

I didn't understand so I've just builded it and hoped I would understand it but it didn't even give the same pulses!

[archaicevilbunny]

so, since a repeater set to three extends a single tick to three ticks, couldn't you cut out the second pulse limiter by splitting the single pulse off the first, and setting one to a repeater set to three?

[iDazeeX]

You are so impressive man!

I never seen before a better tutorial or a elevator realistic...

Your help me with this. Thanks!

@DaftasBrush

Music synthesizer, pick your instruments (noteblocks) and layout the sequence you want to set a beat, input a note and go! Easy to loop, but would need an "off" switch. You know I've seen a vid like that, I wonder if thats how he set it up.

[satansdawg]

when will part 3 be out?

[nicefox1]

oh, man.. you made science from game :D

[satansdawg]

i was trying to evolve the spiral a bit myself. and got it into a pretty small place. but when the signals go up it. they go up way to fast. and my elevator does not have time to continue. and i have the exact same set up as you for the pulse limiter and what not. but im going to continue with testing, i got 8 repeaters b4 each piece of redstone touch's a piston. but its trial and error.
