Sliding blocks with pistons - can I delay the rising edge only?
I have a two-high row of 10-high blocks stacked on top of eachother, oriented like this with pistons on the sides:
[-> [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] .. <-]
[-> [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] .. <-]
The idea is to slide the blocks to one side when an input is on, and to the other when the input is off (likely by using torches besides the top piston on either side so they fire simultaneously). Slime blocks and multiple sticky pistons cannot help my situation here, part due to design and part due to the lack of space to work with.
My naive solutions tend to die on the fact that I need one side to get powered slightly later than the other unpowers. I looked at rising and falling edge detectors a bit, but in order to minimize the noise during shifting I'd prefer if one of the pistons stayed extended as opposed to speed-toggle. (Admittedly, I don't really have the real estate for rising edge and falling edge either.)
Is there a relatively simple/neat solution to only delaying the 'ON' (rising edge) signal, but leaving the 'OFF' (falling edge) alone?
Best Answer
the best thing to do here is indeed a pulse limiter but between the lever and the rest of the circuit (the not gate on one side and the pulse limiter on the other side) you should make an ABBA gate:
so they work both ways. this way you can switch it back an forth not only back

How do you delay a piston in Minecraft?
You can use a button or pressure plate to send a pulse of power, rather than a lever that will stay on once flipped. Walk in when the door is open and it will close behind you. You can use repeaters to adjust pulse length and delay. Put a similar button on the inside for exiting.How do you delay a Redstone signal?
Signal delay A repeater's delay can be modified by using the Use Item control. Each use increases the repeater's delay by one redstone tick, to a maximum of four redstone ticks, then back to one redstone tick.5x4x2 Instant Repeater/NOT Gate
