Configurable inserter

[Binoculars]

Hello factorian friends,

The text below will be translated from French to English on Google Translate.

I created a set of cominators that determine when the inserter grabs an item after a certain number of items have been counted.
To present my creation to you, here it is in a Kovarex set.
My knowledge of circuit networking is limited, if you think you can improve or make more compact my creation, I would be very happy.
Also, I would like to be able to reset each combinator after the inserter has entered an item. Can you help me ?

Here is my kovarex with configurable counter/reset. The counter is two combinators, the third is for the reset/count limit from the constant combinator.

Nice work, really.

Would you have created a flexible alternative?

Example, a conveyor belt counter, which would replace the stack inserter and which would easily adapt to another configuration, by modifying only the desired element.

Excuse me.

Have you created a variant of your creation that allows you to take an element from a conveyor belt?

Example: The conveyor belt has 14 elements, in the 15th, an insert is activated.

[disentius]

Do you mean something like this?
Picks up every 14th copper plate of the belt.

This is exactly it. Thank you so much.

I'm currently working on a project and your creation is perfect for that.

That design is even better then the last I've seen from you.

Is there a reason for 2 u235 loading stack filter inserter?
I removed one, rearranged the combinators a bit and got a design fitting neatly into 5x5 with space for a substation and belt returning u235 to the bus.

Thank you, Optera:)

When testing with one U325 inserter on the "main"belt, with more modules chained, it can miss picking up all the needed output U235 due to timing issues with U235 arriving on the belts from the previous reactor(s).
By keeping the feedback loop on a separate belt, this never happens.

[Optera]

Makes sense now, thanks for clarifying.
I never noticed that happening in my tests with 3 modules. Though my priming setup acts as fail safe, whenever a centrifuge has < 40 u-235 it feeds additional u-235 to the main belt, your counter then ensures it fills the centrifuges back up.
