with the new addition of WIRE i as looking through the "instructions" on the wireworld page and had an idea

as WIRE transfers a sprk at one pixel per frame couldnt we now use it to have things "coded" on binary?

i mean to translate a series of sprks from a wire we could just have a small timing mech that would open and close outputs so that each individual pulse or lack of pulse could be read on different switchs

for example you could have one "keypad" that instead of having the same number of wires as keys and feeds into a Rom ( i think its called a rom) that would then send out signals to say a LCD you could have one keypad that would convert each key into its binary counter part and transmit it along ONE wire to a reader

any thoughts?

im attempting too
