Anyone know how to build a circuit that could do such a thing?

Hi, I found the JJprise on the community content section a few months back, she is mostly hull with little interior. I am trying to build her up into a proper ship. It is mostly interior work an d so on, but she is missing a few exterior details.

How is this related to logic? I am having trouble on working out the best logic circuit for some lights on the saucer section of the ship. The lights flash twice briefly, then they go off for 2 seconds. You can see them on the saucer section on this video (Note: They start flashing 40 seconds in):

your best bet would be a setup like this:
_________
| |
a-d-a-d-d-d-d
| |
L L

a=activator
d=delay
L=light

haven't tested it but think it should work cant see any reason it wouldn't. another option would be instead of having it in a loop have a clock at one end that is set for 2 second ticks:

c-a-d-a
| |
L L

c=clock
a=activator
d=delay
L=light

Thanks for the reply! I am a bit of a noob with logic, so this may take me a while to understand. I have done the first circuit and it doesn't work. I'll try the second one when I get back from School. Thanks again

linking this just in case you don't know how to make a clock. please don't be offended if you do that is not my intention.

This should work, it can be activated/deactivated with activation module 1. right image shows a compacted version.

i am interested to see that could u post a gif?

Here ya go. Double flash to pause to flash again.
Probably would have been quicker for you to build it :P
Ahhh the joys of outer Hebridean internet...

thanks i dont have acsess to a computer that can run the game

Thank you to both of you for your efforts! I will try the logic circuit as soon as possible!

[DOUBLEPOST=1448219066][/DOUBLEPOST]Circuit does work, thank you Raichor!

I use a double blinker on all my ships, this is what I use. It's a standard clock and two of the delays are linked to a button which is linked to the lights. It will blink twice and have a 1.5 second cool down. You can increase the time between blinks simply by adding delays in the chain between the last delay and the and to complete the loop.

I can provide an easier to read diagram if need be.
