Hello ! The question Machine Gun is back !
So i was thinking about something that uses the booster. I was bored the other day and i tought why not making device to mesures day - night periods(Aka clock) just for fun and tought "How the can i make a 10 min delay device and tought about the booster and counter.
The question is what happens if i make the booster as everytime right but i add another 5 counter next to the other 5 counter to make a 25 (?) counter? i dont know if it might work so im going to try with a 3 counter first and see what happens, maybe just a disaster.
Despite the "clock" thingie i wanted to work on the 5 counter for other uses or try to make a more simple one but dont know how to start...
Edit: I made two 3 counters and conected them with each other. The results, as i expected are bad: the first counter boat will be over the pressure plate until the cart hits the presure plate and moves the boat, so the second counters doors will be open as long this happens (i knew it gonna happen but i did it anyway =P). I tought about 3 solutions
1) Making a device that activates the second counter doors once (dont know if it exists)
2) Making a delay system where delay time = time that takes the cart to hit the first counter activation plate
3) Send everything to hell and forget this thing =D
I have the impression that what im doing its stupid and pointless (i know it) but i dont know what else i can do... I know sum1 did a huge clock before but i wanted to do it by myself...
Water powered minecart clocks might work better for a clean device that measures longer periods of time, like 10 minutes. It could be a pain to calibrate though, and it would only give one set output.
@Goshawk I added a pulse generator betweeen the two counters but the damn pulse isnt enough to activate/deactivate the redstone torches, i dont know why, doesnt works for something as simple as an inverter.
I wanted to work with this because its something i know but i might try to do the water minecart thingie if i find a tut sumwhere.
I tought other ways to messure tho make the clock but they might not work or just be a pain in the to construct them.
Thanks for answering
Ps: i will add edits about my work to say how im going with this or, in case sum1 answers my post i will do it on a new pos.
EDIT: Changed to other pulse generator designs shown at the wiki (B´) but doesnt works. When the boat of counter 1 stands on the plate turns on the pulse generator and makes the 2nd counter doors go on/off , so back to the start... Dont know how to conect both counters without having that problem...
EDIT2: @GosHawk I have watched a video about water powered minecart station and now i know what you where talking about. In fact i did something like that but instead of using a minecart i used a resource. I made some kind of water "spiral" and droped a resource on it. The delay i got was about 3 mins delayand wasnt very compact (about 8x3x2, not sure).
Minecart works better than a resource, i made this thing 8x3x6 (4 lvls of water canals) and the cart made it after 6:45 minutes ! now its time to make it last long and a reload way. I think i might use 4 of this for the clock, one for dawn, one for midday, one for dusk and one for midnight, that would be a HUGE thing but might be done underground or i can find the way to use only 1 thing. Next one is 7 lvls high and its an 8x8 square with a time of almost 12 mins delay and i think a door booster might work on it to reload. It will be a BIG device =/ thats why i wanted to use counters but what the hell... ill use this =P

Errrrr I think he means the smartbooster video. I don't know if you've only seen the perpetual motion videos, but check out the rest. I have a compact water/boat counter that I use instead of the redstone absed one in this. It's in my sig :smile.gif:
@8bit what the is sig ? =P I want to see your new compact counter ! Anyway i a bigger one and its almost 12 delay, i think im going to use a door booster to reload it. It will be a pretty big device, but can be hiden underground leaving the "display" on earth lvl. What i wanted was a compact clock device. The advantages of the water thingie is that it doesnt have much ways to be messed up, like burnouts, animals (maybe a creeper can but creeper breaks everything) etc etc... The problem is that is not big... is huge !

Sig as in.... signature? Look at smartbooster part 1 and 2, the 8x4x4 (rough guess, I forget exactly) boat counter counts to 5. They're linked. Or just type smartbooster into youtube and watch both parts.

You dont remember me dont you ? Im 8l33d ! the perpetual question machine ! =D I can make a smart booster with my eyes closed now hehe..
I did some calculations for the correct timing (how many long has to be the thing to last 10 mins to run on it) I need 5,6 canalas to make it last 10 mins. Its time to sync and make some tweaks. Time to reconsider the design to mark midday, midnight, sunrise and sunfall i tought about using a 4 counter that has in each stop a presure plate conected to a redstone torch wich marks the time. Is that possible ? i tried a + shape 4 counter but i have a problem on turns. Any ideas ?
