I created a red stone circuit where a line of pistons activate on an infinite loop. I want the pistons to activate automatically (up down, up down), but want this process to be toggled with a lever. Right now it is infinitely set to go up down, up down. How would I change it ?
I used this video: to create the infinite loop. Is it possible to toggle this loop on / off with a lever?
So what you need is called a redstone clock. If you look it up, you will find a few redstone clock circuits.
For short intervals you can use old good repeater clock. You can easily lock it in one state infinitely by applying signal to the block holding redstone torch.
For long intervals you better use Etho hopper clock. Again, you can apply redstone signal to any of the hoppers to lock it in one state.
another way for a toggleable clock, is a comparator(activated) with an input from behind (on/off) then output splittign forwards, and turning to left or right lopping around to a repeater facign the side of the Comparator turning it off
d=dust r=repeater c=comparator (with torch on) l= lever

There will always be someone better than you, so you can never be the best. That doesn't mean you can't work to be the best that you can be.
Hi there,
I created a red stone circuit where a line of pistons activate on an infinite loop. I want the pistons to activate automatically (up down, up down), but want this process to be toggled with a lever. Right now it is infinitely set to go up down, up down. How would I change it ?

Thanks.
would this work?
