    The concept is called "cascading". As for 7VY, Google and Wikipedia will be your best friend for learning these things as there are a TON of concepts to learn to be able to design a computer (in this case, really a "microprocessor" as a full computer would imply all the other peripherals that make it usable). It all starts with logic gates, binary, arithmetic and programming.

    you mean bin>dec and dec>bin? @7V7 wikipedia has a good ripple carry adder page

    btw piston (de?)multiplexers are really crucial to computers because nearly everything in cpus except the ALU are sorta related to a (de?)multiplexer.

    oh, u link the 2s digit of the full adder output to the carry input digit of the next full adder.

    BTW to subtract numbers, you should just invert one of the input numbers, and the output.

    this definitely is at most a full adder, not a computer though, isn't it?

    Update: Finally managed to make a full adder that is compact and works every time. I had to do some math with spark timing.
