Cart-based power-to-signal converter (cross-section)
|
Where ▲ is E/W (N/S) track ramp
^ is a pressure plate,
r is a roller (highest speed)
. is E/W (N/S) track
Power feeds in beside the roller on the lower level. Rollers can not be powered from above.
A cart is fed into the system with a little push from the upper-level track. Ramps hold it in place over the roller. When powered, cart travels rapidly back and forth over pressure plate, maintaining 'on' state. This can then be used to power doors, bridges, etc.

Miniaturized cart-based power-to-signal converter (overhead)
|
where P is power source
a are each gear assemblies
arrows represent rollers and direction of force
^ represents a pressure plate.
Be careful priming this machine. I'm not entirely sure, but I doubt it should be loaded in the active state.
Delay is ~10 or 11 ticks to trigger the plate. --TerryDactyl 04:16, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
Combing Load Based Mechanics
If I'm reading this correctly, for load based mechanics, won't a 'off' state (which connects the Power Line to the Load) will essentially "short" out the system, making all outputs negative? This is ok for simple systems, but you'll want to avoid that for more complex logic... -- IdeaHat 19:32, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- You are reading it correctly. Individual gates in load-based systems require independent power sources. Vasiln 19:14, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
