256-tick pulse · 13 blocks

How to try it

Press play under the view to watch the demo on a loop (the badge reads demo with the step it is on; the same sequence is drawn as a timing diagram below). Touch any control to stop it and try the circuit yourself.

To try it: press and hold the IN button of the bar (or the cell tagged IN) to power that input; a quick tap sends a short 2-tick pulse.

Inputs are tagged in lime; the output is tagged OUT: the orange glass marker next to it glows while the output is on (the output strip by the demo badge shows its last 40 game ticks, 2 seconds). Drag to look around, pinch or scroll to zoom, step one game tick at a time with the step button.

Inputs and output over time

The input follows this schedule (the 3D view's demo plays the same). Lime: an input is on; orange: the output is on (taller = a stronger signal, 1 to 15). Time runs left to right in game ticks (20 ticks = 1 s).

Swipe the diagram sideways: the whole sequence lasts 14333 ticks (11 min 56.65 s).

Measurements

Notes from its designer

One pulse of exactly 8 ticks per item in the first hopper (8 ticks to 24 seconds) every time the input turns on, however long it stays on (inputs of 4 ticks or more), always 13 blocks: a copper bulb remembers the rising edge (a piston pushes an observer beside it, which fires once each time the input turns on); while the bulb is lit, its comparator locks the second hopper and unlocks the first, so the items pass one by one; when the first hopper is empty, its comparator goes off and a torch toggles the bulb off; then the items flow back. This one holds 32 items: 256 ticks. Detail: the bulb's comparator powers the stone above the second hopper (locking it) and turns off the torch on that stone, which locked the first hopper; the first hopper's comparator powers the block whose torch lights the bulb from below when that hopper empties.
