I am trying to get two pistons to synch their pulses for an item sorter (nether).

In the attached pic:

  1. Observer which has a string in front of it (far side) that sees items drop down out of a cobweb, it pulses the redstone to start the pistons
  2. The primary piston (#2) that pushes the items a block over towards the secondary piston (#3)
  3. The Secondary piston (#3) that pushes the items along the ice path.

The redstone and repeaters are currently set up so that the observer pulse pushes the primary piston first, then after a short delay pushes the secondary piston.

What I am trying to do is prevent the primary piston from extending while the secondary is active. What's happening is every now and again due to timing of items dropping past the string, the secondary piston is extended and the primary piston pulses pushing items onto the top of the extended slime block attached to the secondary piston, vs. those items dropping into the empty space while it's withdrawn.

Any help appreciated!

I took another crack at it using a similar concept. This time I separated the pulse extender and the clock. This way it is very reliable and the clock speed and the speed between pistons extending can be easily controlled with the repeaters.

Basically I have the same pulse extender which switches on a clock. Then each pulse from the clock is connected to the pistons with a repeater going into one piston to make it extend after the first one.

By the way, the dropper and stuff coming out of it previously was just stuff I saw in your pic and tried to replicate it to see what space I was dealing with, it did nothing. I removed all the extra stuff in the new pics.

Here are some pics:

nice! I see we both landed on very similar solutions to this. I'm going to implement your double-reversi loop to see how that plays out - it's the main difference to mine which keeps the secondary piston extended by default, and it retracts and pushes based on the pulse-extender decaying fully.

I like this, thanks for sharing!
