I would like to turn of a redstone signal for a set amount of time.
I have a vertical 4 piston extender. In its powered state all the pistons are extended, that way the block being pushed by the pistons when extended is going to be flushed with the floor. When I push a button I want the pistons to descend to their complete descended state. That way I can get on top and ride the pistons up to the floor. My problem is when i push the button all of the pistons do not descend. From what I can see that is because the off state of the redstone is too short to allow the pistons to fully descend. On the other side of the button I have inverted the redstone signal. Is there a way to extend the "off" time of a circuit? I have never thought to do this nor how to do it. I know how to extend a on signal but never an off. I have tried to google it and youtube it but i can not seem to find any information.
The basic idea for keeping a circuit turned off for a set amount of time is the same as to keep it on. You just have to reverse the circuit. If you extend the pulse that's unpowering a torch, you get yourself an off signal.
The first way to do it is simply by putting a repeater facing into the block with the redstone torch on. This will only work for you if you need to extend your pulse by four redstone ticks or less.
If you need a longer extension, you should buil a pulse extender. There are a lot of ways to do it, you should pick the one that suits your design best. If you type "pulse extender" on YouTube, you'll find what you need. The only thing you have to do: hook that pulse extender up to a redstone torch in order to turn it off;

Thanks a lot. that worked. I kept trying to do it after the torch.
