Minecraft - Redstone

Input

Addition is used - two numbers. 

Output

-the number from the input that us added together

Examples of inputs:

-Lever

-Buttons

-Redstone Torch

Examples of Outputs

-Dispensor/Dropper

-Sticky Piston/Piston

-Redstone Lamp

Analogy:

Math problem

-any math problem can be considered as input and output

Gumball Machine

Input is turning the knoob after inserting quarter

Gumball is the output coming from the bottom of the machine

Lesson 1 - intro to redstone

-input and output

Minigames

Shoot the Buttons

Solid block

Wooden button

Redstone lamp

Villager dunk tank

-solid block

-glass pane

-sticky piston

-slab

-redstone dust

-redstone torch

-wooden button

-water bucket

-villager spawn

Lesson 2

Clocks/pulsors and resistors

-ask the class what they think the concept of a clock is on relation to an electronic and a resistor

-ask them what a resistor means

-how the cloxk works in the scenario of electronics

Resistor - used to easily electrical current to flow through circuit

Diodes - one way circuits. Allowing a signal to travel in a single direction

Ex: Redstone Repeater

Clocks -

Block Update Device - redstone torches can update a block 2 blocks away

Lesson 3

Toggle flip-flops and counters lesson 3

Counters - are used to count events

-has to happen after a series of events

Toggle flip-flop - a circuit that obtains an an input and toggles the switch state on and off.

Given an input, it will toggle a low output

More platforms - more ease and flexibility of movement

What is good and bad level design?

Lesson 4 and 5

Logic Gates lesson 4 and 5

XNOR and XOR

XNOR - obtains two input

XOR - exclusive OR. Takes in two input. Will only have an output if one of the inputs are on; not all.

Lesson 6

RS NOR Latch

Latch circuit and flip-flop circuit are same thing

A circuit that can be switched between on and off and stats that way until switched again.

Off button is dalled the R or reset input turns circuit off

On button is called the s or set input turns the circuit on
