Hello,

I'm not sure if I'm writing in the right section but I have a question.

I'm trying to create a timer, which is triggered by a belt signal -> if something (whatever) is on the belt, the timer should run for 30 seconds and send out a signal, if the timer runs out, the signal should be over.

Unfortunately I'm experimenting for over a week and I'm not sure how to create something like that.

Is there a good tutorial or documentation out there, where I can try to learn it? I found a few on youtube but I'm not sure how to go on in my case.

Best regards and thank you in advance,

William

You can get guidance about combinators in the Wiki: Combinator tutorial; section 4 "Set/Reset latching switch" and section 6 "basic clocks", maybe that could help you.
