Hello everyone, its Thumper the Rabid Rabbit
Back with another episode of Rust electricity 101 the component guide series
today we're going to cover the use of the XOR switch the
XOR switch
Has an accurate description in the inventory
It is an exclusive OR logic gate that allows electrical pass-through
if only one input receives power
the pass-through amount is
Whichever single input is active if both inputs receive power the pass-through will be zero
It is not a default blueprint. It's found in crates and sunken chests and it costs five high quality metal
It can be placed on the wall but not on the floor and I'll demonstrate here how it works
When you have
the A input connected and
the B input connected you will see that it shows a green light for A, a green light for B, and to no power output
this is an exclusive OR
logic switch
so when both sources are connected
it does not pass either of them through but if it has one and only one input
it will pass through the power from that single input as
Soon as you connect a second input it will turn off again
This can be used to make decisions
When you only have one input of two available
connected to the XOR switch
So again the basic operation of the XOR switch if A and B are connected it is off
but if A or B are
Individually connected it will pass through the single connection that is attached at that time
That is the basic operation of the exclusive-or or XOR switch
