Rednet timer

[draceus]

Hello...

I need help setting up a rednet timer that pulses around every 40 sec.

I have found a guide https://forums.atlauncher.com/thread-392.html that I followed but I could not get it to work.

I'd make a square wave every 20 ticks (1 sec) and connect output to counter that counts to 40. Output from counter will activate every 40 s.

Could you try abit more detailed explanation? Im not very good with rednet and Im finding it really hard to understand this stuff

You're better off using a computer with the following code(Replace white with whatever color cable you're using and replace "back" with whatever side of the computer the rednet is touching):

while true do
   redstone.setBundledOutput("back", color.white)
   sleep(0.01)
   redstone.setBundledOutput("back", 0)
   sleep(40)
end

Fair warning that, that could be wrong since I haven't played with it in awhile.

Edit: Why is he better using computer? Also this isn't exactly 40 second timer.

Edit 2: first constant should be 10 for one second.

It's cheaper?

And in my opinion far easier to understand...

I managed to figure it out with help from Zjarek_S thanks allot!

post the solution, maybe a screenshot...for others that may be interested in the same thing in the future, or at least the concept?


(though, I'd have just used a computer too...much more compact )

Ok here is how i fixed it... Probably allot more difficult then it needed to be but anyway.

Starting with a rednet controller

Pd 20 Wave (Square) [Timer] Q I/O R white

That then links from the right side of the controller via a white cable into another controller from the left with the following settings:


I I/O L white One-Shot Pulse O I/O R white

That then created the pulse I was looking for

Over 3 years later and this post helped me build an afk machine in Agrarian Skies 2... Thanks for the encouragement to post the solution Staxed!
