32-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 1885 ticks (1 min 34.25 s).

in  2 ticks (0.1 s): +6 for 32
in  3 ticks (0.15 s): +4 for 32  <- not handled
in  4 ticks (0.2 s): +6 for 32
in  5 ticks (0.25 s): +6 for 32
in  6 ticks (0.3 s): +6 for 32
in  8 ticks (0.4 s): +6 for 32
in 10 ticks (0.5 s): +6 for 32
in 15 ticks (0.75 s): +6 for 32
in 20 ticks (1 s): +6 for 32
in 30 ticks (1.5 s): +6 for 32
in 40 ticks (2 s): +6 for 32
in 60 ticks (3 s): +6 for 32
in 80 ticks (4 s): +6 for 32
in 120 ticks (6 s): +6 for 32
in 160 ticks (8 s): +6 for 32

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 4 items: 32 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.
