Has anyone gotten the Power Counter to work?

Seems like a possible way to make blinking lights, but I can't figure it out.

Awesome! Thank you!

Unless I missed something, nothing in that video talked about the Power Counter.

Power Counter has been broken from the start> The most it does when you connect it to power is count up and even connecting it to the console does not work. If you google it like some should you will find out that it has never worked and that they might never fix it.

So, it appears I misunderstood the purpose behind the "Power Counter". I thought it would cycle itself based on a timer, but it does not. It needs to be manually cycled. So far I can't find a way to automatically cycle it NOR create blinking lights.

It has been a long time since i played with these so don't take everything i say as true. Not sure if anything has changed in the meantime and i have never tried again.

I could never get them to work properly and came to the conclusion they were bugged. Seen others mention this too over the years.

They should not allow power through into the rest of the circuit until a condition is met. Like X amount of presses on a pressure plate for example. However they seem to let power through all the time regardless.

I believe you should be able to connect a terminal and change the amount of presses needed to trigger the power, but again I could never get anything to work the way it should.

my wife and I used the pressure plate, but even then for a short vid I had to run across them. I do recall Vladadministrator gaming making a counter using the flamer traps, but that only cycles once when the wires are burned out

Plan: Assorted Lights unlocks a strobe light. It's hidden in the light bulb left/right scroll.

Run a switch. Run power lines to wall connectors. Place these near them. Ta da. Blinking lights.
The switch I used for mine is tied to a Siren. I activate that, my perimeter lighting comes on, the interior starts flashing, and a siren goes out.
