NOT Gate (Project Red)

The NOT Gate is a redstone circuit added by Project: Red. It is a logic gate for complex circuits for redstone signals and emits a signal, if no signal achieves the gate (see Usage). The circuit would be possible with the vanilla redstone, but this block reduces the size of the circuit to 1 field. This makes complex circuits clearer and easier to control. In electronics, this gate enables the physical execution of the Boolean function "NOT" (logical negation / inverter).

Recipe
The NOT Gate is formed on a crafting table out of 4 circuit plates, 3 cathodes, 1 anode and 1 conductive plate.

Usage


For an easer usage, you could install NEI and WAILA, which show you the input and output on the NOT gate.

The NOT gate has one input and three output sides (see the picture) for red alloy cables, redstone, an adjacent circuit, machine, lamp or everything that can be controlled with redstone signals. Achieved no redstone signal the input side, then a redstone signal is emitted on all three output sides. If a signal achieved the input (no matter how many), then no signal is transmitted. Due this property, the gate is called inverter ("a signal causes no signal" respectively "no signal causes a signal"). Using the screwdriver from Project: Red, you can change the orientation of the gates freely in all four positions.
