Teal Pressure Pads, Dart Traps, and Actuators: The Holy Trinity

Dart traps, teal pressure pads, and actuators work quite well in combination with each other. Dart traps can activate teal pressure pads to send a signal, and actuators can stop the transaction. This thread will demonstrate many of the uses of these tools.

When the dart fires, it shoots past the de-actuated block and goes to the teal pressure pad. The pad sends the signal to the one time whatever and turns the block solid. From now on, the dart will be stopped by the block and not power the one time whatever. To turn the contraption back on, just de-actuate the block.

This randomly chooses for one signal or another to be sent. The faulty gate switches the actuated and de-actuated blocks half of the time. The unactuated ones allow their respective darts to make it to the pads and send a signal

The dart will power itself with the pad and as a result will keep going until the world is exited

This one can be toggled with the switch.

The switch will be flipped and the torch will toggle a bit later.
As great as using darts for custom delays is, for long timers they take up alot of space. To make your dartstone a little smaller, consider using timer cascades. This contraption can only be used once every 60 seconds, and will ignore all other flips of a switch. Input with the red wire up top, output with the blue wire a bit to the right of it.

This one is a little too much to explain, but I'll do my best - Behold a switch that can only be flipped every 60 seconds:

Input through the red wire, output through the blue wire. In short, we use the "1 time only" contraption from the main thread in the top left. The teal pressure pad at the end of the "1 time only" contraption activates a timer cascade. Timer cascades normally "loop" once they reach the end, and a dart in the bottom right is used to de-activate the final timer so that the cascade does not loop. The teal pressure pad the dart hits also de-actuates the 1 time contraption, allowing it to be used again after the cascade finishes. If you want a closer look at this to change wire brightness and see it in action, it's on a server with the ip 207.172.219.142
