Ten Digit Decimal to Binary Converter

    It converts ten digits of decimal into a binary number using pistons at the core and it uses only one channel of wifi for the actual converting. If you're curious about how it works, I'd be happy to explain. Most notably, the decimal work is done on a stack of only 5 numbers. In my other decimal converter each digit had ten spots, one spot per number. Now it has five spots and an even/odd tracker. 0 and 1 have the same spot in the column, and 2 and 3 share a spot and so on. This allows it to be smaller and to subtract two at a time, speeding up the carry-over process. It saves a binary "number" in the switches in the bottom right. Also, please post any problems with it and I'll try to fix them. I know it looks a little sloppy with the inwr all over the middle but that's all for interface. The actual converter is pretty small and it has potential to be pretty. Thanks for checking it out.
