my second blog on redstone tutorials remember give me a idea and i will blog it!

MONOSTABLE CIRCUTS ---------->>>

JAKES REDSTONE TUTORIAL #2

JAKES REDSTONE TUTORIAL #2Monostable circuits


A monostable circuit sends an output pulse of determined length when triggered by an input pulse. They can be triggered by either a rising or falling edge of a pulse or both. The term monostable refers to the fact that only one state of the circuit is stable, while the unstable state reverts to the stable state after a set period (a bistable circuit is a latch).

A device that turns itself off a short time after it has been activated. Design A consists of an RS NOR latch and delay hooked up to its reset. The trigger input activates the latch's SET input, and after a delay set by the repeaters, the RESET activates, turning the output off again. The delay (e.g. the length that the output is high) can be set to any value by adding repeaters into the chain.

As a pulse will often have a shorter duration as it passes through complex circuitry, monostable circuits are useful for re-lengthening the duration, as the output always lasts the same amount of time, regardless of input duration.

It can also be used to delay a signal by using its reset signal as output.

Design B is a more compact version fits into a (3x2x3) space. Very short pulse and repeater has to be set to one of the last two settings in order to work. Repeaters can be added to lengthen pulse.

Alternatively, design C, a (7x2x1) vertical device can be built to fit neatly against/into a wall. As in the other cases, the length of time that the output is high can be adjusted by adding or removing repeaters. This design lacks the RS NOR latch of other designs and will only be useful in constant-input circuits. For momentary circuits, this design will not lengthen an input signal like the other designs, just cut the signal early.

A compact yet simple 2x1x device can also be built if you're constricted to long hallways with little room for width. However, due to the design, this only works with pulsed inputs and not with constant-input circuits. Unlike the previous designs, however, it can deal with 1-tick pulses. Design D1 shows the basic device that lengthens the incoming pulse by 1. Pulses can be lengthened more by adding repeaters and/or increasing their delay, as in D2. Unfortunately, this particular design only works properly if the incoming pulse is at least two ticks long. Design D3 shows how you can skirt around this problem, increasing the size to 3x2x. It lengthens pulses by 7 and works with any length pulse. Note that the number of ticks the device lengthens the pulse by is equal to the sum of the delays on the repeaters in the design, not including the first one.
