Redstone help?
« on: April 03, 2012, 11:46:01 am »
I need help with a redstone mechanism from someone who is better than me at this kind of thing. Red, looking at you.

I have built a simple number display i.e press a button labelled '3' and the number three is displayed in redstone torches. I have a row of buttons along the wall numbered 1 to 9. The problem I have is this; I need something that work so every time I press any one of the buttons, it will any of the other buttons so that they are not on any more. So, I can press any button and the number will appear without multiple numbers being overlayed on the display and it all becoming a mess.

So far the only solution I can think of is for each button to have its own RS NOR latch, each with a line that resets every other RS NOR latch. This is incredibly hard to physically implement, so I'm wondering if there is any specialised latch or something to do this.

It's really quite hard to phrase this problem clearly, so I hope it's understandable. Thanks for any help.

Could you show me

Explaining it with text is much harder than me just looking at it

Would it be possible to set up a slow click that would reset the display?

Or even a few screenshots

Yeah, sorry but it's quite hard to explain. When I'm back from Scotland in a week I'll be on the server and if you show me then that'd be great.
