Filter gates: A suggestion about making things do things when we want them too

[jbox1]

Short answer: add filter gates!

Long answer: a filter gate is a timing device, which will require its input to be active for a period of time before activating its output. It’s output shuts off as soon as it’s input does, however. This filter gate is just one of those things I would just really like to use, and along with the buffer gate, could help with timing devices.

We have the delay gate now which basically does this

I know a few ways to use a 555. But today i would just use a small uC. But you are right, i'm pretty sure there are much more options to use this little timer than the things i used it for 

But to get back to a more plausible reality we just can hope for the devs to implement a few basic timer-blocks.

Edit: Typo...

Factoring time into some timer-gates would be a nice addition! Something like a NE555

On delay, off delay, with and without retrigger would be a nice start...

555 curcuitry? So now we can do everything a 555 can?

 

m8, that’s a lot of stuff

Sounds useful. Maybe someday we have to spent a certain amount of time to add all these great ideas for logic parts. This filter sounds really useful for the sumo, makes me getting new ideas

Keep posting all these ideas❤️
