The Mighty Dwarven Calculator
In my current fort I am attempting to create a fully functional calculator capable of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. I hope this calculator will eventually work in base ten and be able to handle inputs up to 999.
Things to do.
Addition engine
Subtraction engine
Multiplication engine
Division engine
Binary Decimal conversion engine
Comleted Work
Binary control house
Here is a picture of the binary control house numbers are displayed in binary as rotating and not rotating gear assemblies. You select the inputs in the top right (currently set to zero). You then select the function and pull the equals leaver. The result will then be showed on the answer line. The red gear assembly is to indicate a positive or negative number (rotating for negative).
Addition is working perfectly below is a picture of the addition engine.
And here is the Control house showing that 100101001(297)+1011001100(716)=1111110101(1013)

Subtraction is now working although don't plan these things at 3 in the morning it leads to things being unnecessary complicated. Here is 1010101010(682)-1100101011(811)=-10000001(-129)
-1100101011(811)%3D-10000001(-129).PNG)
Multiplication is working - so huge so so huge - picture and video coming soon
Division is working, I have now used over 30,000 Mechanisms - picture and video coming soon
