Hey all, question here. I have two iron doors and a button on each side of the wall. As you can see in the picture below I tried to set up a redstone circuit so that when I press the button to open the door the door would stay open longer making it easier to use. That isn't happening, when I press the button the doors just stay open permanently. I used repeaters because I thought that would allow the "action" of the door to continue longer, but after reading the redstone guide I see repeaters have a totally different purpose aha. How could I change up the circuit to get the effect I'm looking for?
How I set up the redstone circuit, button to the right of the door space.
I'm having a little trouble connecting the button to the pulse extender while still being able to keep the circuitry hidden...I can only have the button one block up from the redstone using Pulse Sustainer #4. I couldn't get the previous ones to work.
The door will stay open permanently.
To solve that, have the RS-norlatch output to a line of redstone repeaters (10 repeater ticks is one second) which resets the RS-norlatch
Will I'll be able to hide the circuitry using the design in the picture I posted?
Wow thank you both very much for the detailed explanation and pictures! This will work just fine, I'll try it out and let you guys know if I have any problems. Thanks again guys! Quick question though, I could also use a glass block instead of a lamp right, because it's a transparent block? Or is there a different reason a lamp works?
The button forms a bud switch, which activates when the lamp turns on and the same for turning off. A fence gate would work/anything that would update but no solid/non solid blocks that don't update.
The lamp version is a little special. When it receives the power from the block the button is on it updates the piston directly below it, which then moves because it is also getting power from the block the button is on.
Without the lamp or a fence gate there the piston won't move when the button is pressed because it does not automatically get updated by the game (since it is 2 blocks away).

Button on the other side of the wall.
Pulse extender.

I see what you're saying, placing repeaters in series should have been obvious aha
If you can move the button over a block you can keep the doors in sync and extend the time with just a sticky piston:
Dark blue = pulse extender
Green = path to power the iron doors.
Front:
back:
Extender:
Green + extender in action:
You just stole my design before i posted it!
Damned!
I'll try anyways
Maybe i get bonus points because my design features a futuristic lamp instead of an ugly piston xD
m3Zz, Hah i was making screenshots of the lamp design while you posted....
Op, if you have access to lamps you can use a sticky piston one lower and keep your wall intact (but with a lamp)...
i have telepathic powers ^^
I can use them to see what others think before theyself even think of what i see what they will think
Without the lamp or a fence gate there the piston won't move when the button is pressed because it does not automatically get updated by the game (since it is 2 blocks away).
