IC Workbench

The IC Workbench is a block added by Project Red. It is used to design new redstone circuits (see Usage). The designed circuit can be formed into an IC Chip with the IC Printer and then to an IC Gate.

If the mod MineChem is installed, then you can decompose the IC Workbench with the Chemical Decomposer into 432 Iron (Fe) and possibily Cellulose based on its wood content.

Usage
To design a new redstone circuit, place an IC Blueprint with a right-click on the top of the table. A further right-click on the bench opens the GUI which is displayes like in picture 1.

To start a new board click on the Redraw button on the right. This opens a small window in which you can select the size of the circuit board (shown in picture 2). At the bottom of the window you can enter a name of the new circuit which is then displayed on the IC Blueprint, the IC Chip and the final IC Gate. Now you can click start and the empty board is displayed in the middle of the GUI (like eg. in picture 3).

On this board you can draw many different redstone wires, gates and other functions, which are displayed at the bottom of the GUI. The yellow border on the board indicates the interface between the internal circuit and the cables, which can later be connected in the world at the gate.

If the circuit is finished, then leave the GUI and shift-right-click on the bench to obtain the created blueprint.
