Synchronized Turntables
Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2012 2:32 pm
So I'm working on the Mark-3 of my extending pottery system, and I need to time a crap-ton of pistons to all go off in an exact sequence. Even a 1-tick delay anywhere would be a problem. But I've figured it out.

Each turntable in the sequence is exactly the same distance from de-powered gearbox. All the gearboxes are depowered by a detector block, all of which are set along the light beam. Turn off the light beam, and all detectors register it the same tick, and all turntables get powered the same tick. Perfect timing: Achieved.
