The solution i found - a counter/memory which performs all carry calculations by itself and holds the actual calculation result - strikes me as rather unorthodox, as well as the addition running from highest to lowest bit when classic binary calculations go from lowest to highest. | The solution i found - a counter/memory which performs all carry calculations by itself and holds the actual calculation result - strikes me as rather unorthodox, as well as the addition running from highest to lowest bit when classic binary calculations go from lowest to highest. | ||

In my first attempt at building a dwarven clock, i had not yet started looking for useable repeaters and ended up with a highly imprecise contraption. But working on it gave me more interest in counting circuits and i eventually stumbled over the device i ended up using not only here but also as the basis of the calculator. After i had found the small-size 720-step repeater, it was only a matter of putting the parts together. The project even offered an opportunity to actually use some of the logic gates i had constructed, to check for various dates and use them to trigger a few specific devices. | In my first attempt at building a dwarven clock, i had not yet started looking for useable repeaters and ended up with a highly imprecise contraption.

I'm rather pleased with my accidental discovery of binary complementary to display negative numbers, although getting the final 'minus one' to trigger when going negative - to get the correct complement for display - was quite a bit of a headache and the circuitry ended up insanely tangled. | I'm rather pleased with my accidental discovery of binary complementary to display negative numbers, although getting the final 'minus one' to trigger when going negative - to get the correct complement for display - was quite a bit of a headache and the circuitry ended up insanely tangled. | ||
