Damn, that's very tedious wiring

How dose this work?

By the looks of it each number interface stored the corresponding signal the weather sensor gives when the correct weather is detected. They're linked into 1 and gate each, and when they have the same signal the and gate power wires that's connected to the corresponding segment displays

yes

The switch and 4 relays are to boost the signal, otherwise the segment display would have a very weak light

#

I also made RAM a while back, or rather, just a single 4-bit Register, I hope they expand the logic systems at some point, it's quite fun :)

Ooh

tropic isle
#

Which... Doesn't make sense in a traditional sense, especially because the signal would travel backwards into the other relays and short circuit the entire thing, but that's just overcomplicating the issue by a mile and a half.

#

Also, once I figure out how to do it with binary logic, I'll attempt to make a 3D renderer

#

It'll either display a shape you make yourself using coordinates,

#

Like every thing

#

Well you can consider these four to be addresses

#

They are all connected to their own respective AND gate,

violet frost
#

Like how did u get the letters

tropic isle
#

That's what all of these wires are, they are just connected to each segment you need to write a certain letter,

#

Hold up, I'm getting another segment so I can show you a less... Less messy version thinky

#

So here's a regular 14-Segment display and its backside,

#

It has 16 inputs and 1 output, although we only have to care about 14 of them

#

15 if you want colour

#

And in that case, this is the colour input

#

But as you can see, all the segments have their own inputs,

#

To write any letter, you just have to attach wires to the segments needed for it,

#

Of course, you have to write it backwards as it'll be mirrored

#

Let's say, I'd write... S

#

I'd attach wires like this

#

And these are the segments I attached wires to

#

Hope this helps :)

It's getting worse, I'm adding the next thing to it 👍

should be done
