RP2: Is there a way to prevent a signal from traveling back through a wire without delay?

[Dex Luther]

I've been messing with a mob farm I created and found that sometimes drops were left too far back to be able to collect them from behind the glass.

There's a wall in my farm that pushes the mobs forward, and then seconds later the side walls close in to crush the mobs leaving only one hit before they die.

I figured the best way to push the drops forward would be to add a second button and wire that bypasses the whole timing mechanism and only activate the back wall.

The problem is that since uninsulated wire has to be used to activate the pistons (and allow for the second line to work), the signal travels down the blue wall only line, activates the piston's uninsulated wire, and then travels backwards through the black death machine wire.

I tried to find if RP2 had some sort of repeater device that allowed signal to travel only one way, but didn't add any delay. I know both vanilla and RP2 repeaters would work, but I want to avoid the slight delay they create if possible.

Have you tried the Pulse Former?

Have you tried the Pulse Former?

No, but the way it's described here I don't think it would work. The black wire has a timed on state, which the pulse former would remove.

Railcraft has one way tracks that don't slow down carts passing over them, but stops carts from going the opposite way down a track. I'm looking for something similar to that, but for RP2 wires. I guess repeaters are the only thing that exists sort of using wireless redstone.

can we get screen shot of your setup?
Maybe you can use an OR gate to signal a piston.
Yeah i think an OR gate is what you want.

I just added the repeater.

without using gates you could power blocks adjacent to the pistons instead. It wont looks as neat as that picture but it will keep both inputs separated but able to active the same pistons without any delay. or as i said earlier maybe an OR gate if it doesnt have delay, im too lazy to test.
