My CLE is N ticks! - How to measure ticks? - TheCrimulo - 12-15-2015

I see a lot of ppl saying that a comparator XOR is 1 tick, the CLE is 3 ticks... But i dunno how to measure the ticks, is there a tutorial? Welp, thanks

You could either count the amount of repeaters, or use a gate timer.

Qwer and I made a gate timer a while ago, you can find it on my plot Smile

Here's a nice method I like to use. It's basically trial and error kind of method, but it works faster than anything I've ever seen.

you can take advantage of the fact that a 1 tick pulse makes pistons drop the blocks it is attached to. So you take an output of the machine you are making and send it to a pulse shortener, then OR the output of the shortener with another shortener. The second shortener having a known amount of delay, say repeaters. If both delays match, the block is still dropped, however if it is one tick off, it will become a 2 tick pulse and the block is not dropped. if more than 1 tick difference, you get 2 pulses that basically pulls the block back.

So you get a block drop only if you get a matching delay before the two OR'd pulse shorteners.

Thanks Jer! It works... just works, it says that the Dariagua's 1 Tick XOR is 2ticks, without repeaters. Why jer y?

Pablo, your method looks hard, i didnt understand half a part xD

I guess it's 2 ticks then. Unless you set something up wrong, the machine doesn't lie Smile

Or the smallest it can see is two ticks...

Nope, it can handle 1 tick, 0 ticks; anything you give it that isn't over 999 ticks will work.
