My Google search foo has failed me. I am not a redstone user in the slightest. I don't know the terminology at all. I searched, but lacking the vocabulary, I was unable to find an answer. The title of this thread was difficult to formulate.

I have two dispensers. I have one button. When pressed, I want it to send its normal pulse of power to the first dispenser, but not the second. When pushed again, I want it to send its normal pulse of power to the second dispenser, but not the first. When pushed again, I want it to send its pulse back to the first dispenser. Again pushed, the signal goes to the second dispenser. Repeat ad infinitum.

The answers I found all seemed to indicate I need to use a T flip-flop, and I have used one of those before, but it sends a constant signal—not a pulse like a button.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT: Looks like I found what I'm seeking, but for some reason, it's not working for me, not yet at least.

The piston keeps turning on and off over and over. However, I expect I'll eventually figure it out.

Oops, just saw you wanted a pulse. Let me see what I can whip up.

EDIT

Here you go. T-Flip Flop into separate Mono stable circuits so you get one pulse per button press.

Hey, I'll check that out when I get a chance to play next. Thanks a lot!

Okay, works as requested . . .

. . . But, now I'm hung up trying to get my double-pulse generator to work.

The far dispenser lights the portal with flint and steel, and the other one has a bucket of water. It pours out and deactivates the portal, but it doesn't "double pulse" to suck the water back out of the portal. If I put a button on the chiseled stone block for testing, the double-pulse generator works fine.

What am I doing wrong? Probably obvious to redstone users!

Thanks again!

Just split the pulse with repeaters and have it go to the other side so you get the original pulse then a second pulse from the split line. no need for the hoppers.

That worked! Thanks so much for your help, Silver_Illusion!

Noice, I may use that for an automated portal activation/deactivation system. Mind providing a blueprint of it, or using this (http://www.minecraftbuildingplanner.com/) with a schematic of the whole system? Could allow me to build it myself, knowing what materials go where.

Glad it worked out for you.

I just rebuilt what Silver_Illusion posted. The entire setup is shown, other than that, as described, one dispenser contains flint and steel and the other a bucket of water. My attached image from post #6 shows the slight edit he suggested. You'll have to mess with setting the tick delays in the repeaters (by right clicking them) on a case-by-case basis.

Thanks, will use it. Awesome system.
