Ive been using piston clocks in most of my creations and Ive been wondering how I can control them and toggle them from on to off and vise-versa. Heres a screenshot so you can see what Im doing.
And heres a picture of all the things Ive made.
I use this clock (and variation) quite a lot and figured out a way to switch it on/off: add a switch (or wire) on the side of any block that has a torch on top of it, that will shut the torch down so that the loop won't connect when the block is on top of the said torch.
I usually just use a piston to complete the circuit for the clock when I want it to run. Basically, use the fact that redstone powers a block that then can transfer 90 out to a repeater (Or use a setup that doesn't need another repeater, easy enough to edit)

Wow, that's a lot more complicated that it should be ^^
Here, screens of what I tried to describe:
The switch just basically turns off one torch :ohmy.gif:
This version turns off the 4 torches at once for an immediate stop:

< or >=repeater
-=redstone
B=block
T= torch on side of block
B<<-
T>>-
if you suppply power to the block it will stop the clock, you can also adjust the speed by changing the repeater delay
