User blog:BIythewood/Wiring: Manual Override

This tool is useful to end a loop or preventing a circuit from activating another.

As you can see in this photo, this simple version of a manual override is implemented in a loop. If the switch is ever turned off, the wire, which in this case is red, will deactivate and the circuit will end at the AND Gate.
 * How to make this:

You can place a manual override anywhere in a circuit that you think will be helpful. First, place down an AND Gate and a lever. Connect a wire from the output of the entering circuit into one of the inputs of the AND Gate. Connect another wire from the lever to the other input of the AND Gate. Connect the third wire from the output of the AND Gate to the input of the exiting circuit. Turn the lever on and the circuit will go through, turn it off and it will prevent the flow from passing. If this doesn't make sense, post it in the comments and I will try to explain it better.


 * Bugs:


 * Due to how logic gates work, if a manual override is connected to a loop with the signal delay at 2-4, it will short-circuit.
