I am creating a mob crusher using a button off of some you tube video. I have it set up so I can push the button and the pistons crush the mob for a few seconds. It's not working out right and I have concerns that it involves more red torches. My design is different so I am trying to work with it as I assume the concept to make the delay is the same.
X = repeats r= rstone
Button rrr Inverter r r r r r r r r r r to piston
| r
X r r inverterXXXXXr
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXr
In the video the first inverter is on and the inverter by the repeaters is on. I randomly messed with it and got it change around (explaination on how would be awesome). Anyways it doesn't work as intended and my circuit is doing nothing.
Does it have anything to do with the fact im running redstone directly over my pistons and not use red torches to do some type of control. In his example is uses torches, but like I said its not the same project. Sorry if I come off confusing its hard to explain with out pictures. Any help?
I think you should be fine. Not sure what's is going wrong honestly
Well when I put the redstone on top of the inverter it works but it never ends. I was trying to just make it one push and that was it. Seems like a really small error still working on it.
Im going to take a gamble here without benefit of a picture.
Button rrr Inverter r r r r r r r r r r to piston<--This is working correctly, right? |r r <------This redstone is leading into the repeater? Is the repeater facing the redstone to the right? If so r X r r inverterXXXXXr it's not getting the signal from the button. Place redstone where the two red r's are to
fix.If it's facing the bottom row of repeaters, then turn it and add the two red r's XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXr<-----Where does this output go? To another piston?
It looks like you have a design where the pistons would always be extended, then you push the button, they detract for a second and then extend again. If you want to have them be always open and crush the mobs at your will, replace the button with a lever and take out both inverters. You probably don't need so many repeaters, either.
How about a link to the video you are trying to work with?
Button - R - R - Inverter - R- R - R - pistons
R R R
R R Inverter- X X R <-
R X X X X X X X X X R ->
Around 12.06 minutes is a good picture and starting location
Mine basically set up exactly like that but as the main output goes he uses torches for his pistons while I just run the red stone up around.
The concept is the same the mobs are washed down and fall to 2x2 square. I have a switch for water in the back to collect loot and a button to raise the 2 x 2 sand up to allow them to not die instantly. His squisher is located in the back while mine are located like this on the sides
P x x P
P x x P
The repeaters (X) circle around and hit the inverter and then signals redstone to the main inverter.
When I run it I noticed that it goes through the repeater loop first and does not actually activate the pistons until then. I am pretty sure this just requires me playing more torches somewhere by the pistons, but I am no expert at this stuff I just mess around.
EDIT: I can't seem to line up the red stone with the inverters with the text but the picture will make it clear.
I was about to say that torches are inverters. If they power pistons, the signal to them must be inverted to work properly. The circuit you were copying must have taken this into account. But then you replaced the torches with redstone dust, and so the signal to the pistons was no longer inverted as designed. An inverter added to the circuit is a solution, which you found. Another is to find where the original design does the signal inversion, and get rid of it. It must be there, or it would not have worked properly as originally built.
I see, ya I am still fairly new to it all. Don't understand it fully but have a good grasp. Little things like this sure help for future problems though.
