This may not be the best place for this post, but it is support for others. Anyways...
I have posted an image (below) an example of using Flip-Flops (FF) [ID 667] as a timer.
The previous method of chaining timers is cumbersome and time consuming.
At first the idea of FF is slow, but as they double with each new chained FF, then very quickly you can get to high delay times.
ie
1-2-4-8-16-32-64-128-256-512
Therefore 10 FFs gives you 512 seconds (8 mins 32 seconds).
You can click on the gif below to see it in action.
The extra AND [ID 408] gate and SWITCH [ID 405] are just to allow me to turn the clock (NOT [ID 410] and DELAY [ID 407] ) off/on.
The PERMISSIONS [ID 346] module allows anyone to operate the SWITCH.
To fine tune, you can add extra DELAYS to the chain.
A last point.
This provides a looped timer (long clock pulses) and cannot be reset as far as I know.
Hope this is useful to you all.
