Ring-Counters are named that way because they round back a bit. So you can build loops out of them. The most famous ring-counter is a watch. A watch has 12 destinct states and a clock of one hour. Second famous would be early loops in computers. They had a ring register of instructions. The final instructions was a conditional branch between doing nothing and doing the loop again. This type of automation is still used in industrial automation and became the for and while loops we know in programming today.

[@freelease]

I think the Ring-Counter is also called "Barrel-Shifter" (and the operation is often called "Barrel-Rotate"). This name made more sense to me, as I can imagine the bits lining the inner (or outer) surface of the barrel. Rotating the barrel rotates the bits inside. Hope this helps people to understand what the Ring-Counter / Barrel-Sifter does. :)

[@errorlooo8124]

I'm pretty sure the name barrel shifter comes form the fact that it is kind of the opposite of a ring counter because it can do any amount of shifting necessary all at once (a.k.a not sequential logic, but combinatorial) as opposed to the ring counter which is sequential a.k.a it takes multiple presses of the button to shift by a certain amount. Wikipedia seems to agree with me but i don't know how much that's worth.

[@rechnerfuchs]

8:20 It might be worth noting that shifting an odd number downwards will always round *down* as the last bit (that would be the first "decimal" place) is lost. Could see this causing a headache for people who don't realise. Example: 0011 (3) -> 0001 (1) rather than 0011 -> 0001.1 (1.5) PS: I suck at words. I invite anybody to try and make this more concise.

[@mikitatsikhanovich4920]

Notice how multiplying a binary number by 2 (aka 10 in binary) has the effect of shifting it left one bit, similar to multiplying a decimal number by decimal 10 (which is just adding zero to the end)

[@vaultence9859]

The reason ring counters are called what they are is that you could represent a shift register like a number line, moving each bit one place along it until it overloads (running off the end of the line). You could prevent this by taking the same line and connecting the start to the end, forming a ring. It works the same way a clock does, where once it passes 12 the hand doesn't fall off, it's just back at 1.

[@rubensf7780]

That was really frustrating, and most of that time went in vain because I was using an unraliable T flip flop and when I realized so I had to make one up and start from scratch because yours don't work on bedrock minecraft.

[@Masterlamb3]

I have always needed those circuits, and couldn't find them. Great video

[@Aldrasio]

The adder circuit would be considered a simple accumulator. A lot of RISC CPUs use accumulators for their arithmetic to simplify the instructions. Designing a CPU so that any register can operate with any other register and then output the results to any other register is certainly doable, but it's complex. The accumulator design simplifies it so any arithmetic/logical operation has to use the accumulator register as one of the inputs, and the output will always be written to the same accumulator register. As an example, say the accumulator is register A, and there's another register B. You want to add 3 + 2. You'd write 3 to register A and 2 to register B, then use the assembly instruction "ADD B". (Since any ADD operation uses A as an input, there's no need to say "ADD A,B" as an assembly instruction, so it gets simplified to "ADD B".) After that instruction is executed, register A contains 5.

For anyone playing in 1.21 or newer. If you need a normal counter just put a copper lightbulb, put a comparator next to it and place another lightbulb in front of the comparator. Repeat as many bits as you need

[@ThatJay283]

oh wow. so here was me thinking i was really compact with my memory modules using 160 blocks per bit (and 256 blocks per bit for my dual channel module), and now you're showing me repeaters have a built in d latch and i didn't have to make one using torches and non locking repeaters 😅 (although, my 2 wide tileable d latch is still really useful, it's essentially just an sr latch with a couple more torches and a repeater). so now i can build a new redstone computer, but even smaller if i go vertical, and i get to send instant vertical signals without using walls or scaffolding with observers and copper bulbs. tysm!

The reason for calling it a ring counter is that the data loops around to the end of the counter, and then back to the beginning in a ring fashion. Also, that thing that some people call an accumulator is actually called an accumulator.

[@aaarandomer346]

To make the accumulator into an automatic counter you dont need to attach a clock to it. Just add 1 through the carry in and remove the torch that connects the button to the glass tower that has the repeater lock. If you do that it starts counting up without you doing anything! Idk if it works for other adders though, i am using the cancel carry adder shown in the LRR 4#

[@erert-f9p]

For a binary counter, you could also build a CCA and plug the button in the input that adds 1

[@FrikingRL]

Now i finally understand how multipliers works with redstone

[@ThatJay283]

with the memory bank i managed to make the size even smaller than the one in this video. instead of being 2x2x10 (40 blocks/bit), i got it down to 2x3x6 (36 blocks/bit). my smaller version does use a shared bus for reading and writing, but only if it is tiled to share a bus :D

[@sgctactics]

The purple adder register reminds me of an op amp wired to function as an integrator, where the integral of a measured signal accumulates based on the rate of change of the input. So perhaps it should be called an integrator? Or calculus doohickey? And ring counters are called that because of the physical construction of using vacuum tubes to store volatile data back when it was first conceived, and the fact that they cycle the data like a rotating ring. Handy when dealing with microcontrollers that put out a repeating chain of outputs that isn't a consistent on-off cycle

[@dinoeebastian]

If I had to guess, I'd say the Ring-Counter is called that because it loops from the largest bit to the smallest bit sort of like if you had a ring of numbers that shift, although the counter part is a little strange, but it does make some sense

They're called ring counters because the data loops in a circle... you know, the shape of a ring 😁

[@Boltkiller96]

they are also called barrel shifters

[@maroonshaded]

@@Boltkiller96 It's not a barrel shifter because it's sequential. From what I've searched, barrel shifters are combinational, meaning (according to Matt) that they don't depend on their current state, only on the exact inputs. The ring counter, however, depends on its current state to be able to cycle.

The Fact He said D latch 😂

[@klikkolee]

"loading the register" is very backwards to me. The word "load" in CS contexts is very very heavily connected to getting data *out* of the storage. In a typical assembly, you conceptually load *from* the memory, not into the register. When a game loads an asset, it conceptually loads *from* the storage drive, not into the memory. You could get away with "the register loads", but only if the other control signal's name is able to match that phrasing. The CPU can write to and read from a register, or the register can load from or assert to the bus(es).

Heyhi! I love these tutorials and it has helped me a lot to understand all this a bit better - but could you please explain how the circuits work a bit more in detail? I'm just copying them and I try to understand how they work, but in the recent few that's getting harder and harder.. with the CCA I could still mostly follow, with the full explanation of why and how; but with the adder I'm kind of just lost, and while I can understand some parts of it it's just a bit overwhelming to me. This might also just be a skill issue on my end of course - more explanations would be nice but I also get if it's just that I'd need to understand better. Either way, still thanks for making these

Hi - thank you for the suggestion! Two things - first, are you talking about the adder in the accumulator? If so, I don’t know how that adder works either lol. it’s not my design, it’s a 3tick design by Don. Moreover, it’s not always necessary to know exactly how something works, sometimes an abstracted view works just fine. But if you prefer, you could swap out the dons adder for an adder you better understand, and the accumulator will still work. And second, I have a discord server if you’d like to ask questions or talk about circuits with other redstoners. The link is in every videos description. Good luck!
