Minecraft, A Guide To Redstone Part 5 (Analog Redstone)
This tutorial will teach you how to use analog redstone. Analog redstone is emitted from 4 objects within Minecraft these are (Daylight sensor, Weighted Pressure-plate (Light), Weighted pressure-plate (Heavy) and Redstone comparators with Tile entities (Tile entities: Chests, Droppers, Dispensers, Trapped Chests and Hoppers) as they're inputs.
Daylight sensors emit a redstone signal depending on the time of day so theoretically they're minecrafts version of a solar panel. At midday they emit a full strength redstone signal.
Daylight sensor at nighttime. There is no signal as there is no daylight.
Weighted pressure plates (Both light and heavy) emit a redstone signal when there is items on it. The light weighted pressure plates take less items to make a full strength redstone signal.
(32 Items on the pressure plate)
(A whole stack of items on the pressure plate.) 64 items gives off a full strength redstone signal.
Whereas the heavy weighted pressure plates do a weak signal with a whole stack of items.
6 Stacks of Items on a heavy weighted pressure plate.
A daylight sensor in a chest hooked up to a comparitor.
1 Items only emits a 1 strength signal
The chest must be completely full for a max strength signal to be emitted.
Uses For Analog Redstone!
A chicken farm which alerts you when its full.
The eggs go through a hopper into the dropper where a comparitor senses the eggs. If an egg is sensed it will activate a redstone clock which activates the dropper until is empty and the clock is switched off.
The dropper drops the eggs into a hopper.
Then a comparitor senses the eggs in the second hopper and activates some more redstone.
This is a board which shows approximately how full the hopper is.
When its full it activated a redstone clock which has note blocks on... thus making an alarm.
I hope you can make something cool with analog red stone. If you enjoyed the tutorial please leave a +1 or if you want to leave a comment. To stay up to date you can follow the next craft blog itself or you can like the NextCraft Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TheNextCraft
