I'm working on a pretty large circuit, but i have an issue that I cant get past.
I am pulling a lever and it stays powered, which then I need to do some sort of logic to send out a SINGLE pulse, until that the lever becomes unpowered. Once it is unpowered, if you power it again, it'd send out another single pulse.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to accomplish this? I tried NOR memory latches but my combinations are not working.
That's not possible, It needs to be single a solid input
A button DOES send out a single output.
According to your OP, you need a lever to send out a single pulse, correct? That is what buttons do. You can skip all of the fancy wiring if you use a button.
I was trying to be more simple in my explanation. It's not a lever that directly interacts with this part of my circuit, it's a solid output... there is no interaction with the user where this takes place
note: Then I mention a group of people in my posts, i mean the majority of information i have seen from that group, and my statement may not be accurate for every individual in that group.
Once a solid input is applied, I need to have a circuit output a single pulse out. ONLY ONE.
Once the solid input is removed, it doesn't do anything.
Once the solid input is re-applied, it will re-send a single pulse.

Use a button to send a singloe pulse, do not use botton again until you need to send another pulse.

Why won't a button work. It sounds like what a number of people aren't understanding. Do you for instance, want to use the lever to arm a system then when something specific happens, it pulses once (makes something happen) but no more than once, until the lever is reset?
Like you want to flip the lever to set an alarm, and then the first time something steps on a pressure plate you want one signal that causes something, but not over and over again (ie stepping on the pressure plate multiple times has no effect after the first one?
Trying to figure out what you are aiming for so people don't just say...one pulse, use a damned button already.
Why can't you use a button? Explain it. You'll get better help that way.
For everyone saying "Use a Button", I think he knows a button sends a pulse... there's actually a use for this kind of circuit.
For example, a train loading station. A cart comes in and triggers a 10 second timer using repeaters. Once the timer is up the cart is sent away via powered rail. Well if you used a 25 repeaters for 10 seconds, you'd then have a circuit powered for an additional 10 seconds while the repeaters fizzed out....
In this case that rail would stay powered for 10 seconds instead of pulsing once to send the cart away... if another cart came in right afterwards it would shoot away instantly instead of waiting the 10 seconds as planned.
This is just a random theoretical example for the use of a circuit like this.
Just wanted to mention, I know you probobly dont need this answer anymore but for anyone else who lookes at this for the answer, what you need is a monostable circut. http://www.minecraft...stable_Circuits

like this? It infinite loops :sad.gif:

Every time the lever is "on", a pulse is generated.
THANK YOU!! :biggrin.gif:
