I'm trying to get a door for a pyramid I have to retract two blocks in order to reveal an entrance to a hollow pyramid. I don't want an entrance sticking out of the side, however. The blocks I'm trying to move are placed like this (Yellow is the block, glass is air, green is ground level, and cobble is the piston):
Both yellow blocks would move down to create a floor/entrance. The back one needs to move down two units, and the front/lower one needs to move down one unit. I tried using the reversible signal generator from here, but I end up having to turn the lever twice whenever I want the back block to lower. Is there any way to make this so that only one flick of a lever/button would open/close the door? Can it be done without exposed wiring?
Your current set up let's it turn on, but it's not something that will work in reverse. make sure you copy this design exactly:
I'm using this:
So it does turn on and off, but after flipping the lever three times, instead of once.
I already tested it. My current system works, but with a lot of exposed wiring and a glitchy switch.
You may also find this design useful along with the reverse signal generator above my post
Thanks, I'll try this out now. :smile.gif:
Edit: It works perfectly. Now, if I wanted to make this so that I could use a button from either the outside or the inside to toggle it on or off regardless of whether it's already on or off, I would need a T Flip-flop, right?

The server is off for the night, but I can link to pictures that are trying the same thing.

Basically that with another piston&block behind the existing one so that the door looks like two steps retracting to make a floor.
