FIGURE 9.16
One approach to hiding piston door wiring.
Try the same design with an added latch circuit: run wire from pressure plates through the
latch, feeding the power into the side repeater from a lever inside. Use the pressure plates
to get in and out quickly, and then use the lever to lock the doors closed at night.
One final example of piston-controlled devices:
Figure 9.17
shows a set of three automatic
iron block storm shutters hidden within a wall cavity. (I've opened up the inner wooden
wall and floor so you can see the workings.) A system like this controlled by a lever
provides more blast resistance than glass, and you can open it up to take pot shots at mobs.
Wire this up to a lever and bury the wiring under your floor.
