Inverting Relay
Does the opposite, half a second later: its output starts on, goes off when its input comes on, and on when it goes off.
How it works
- It does the opposite of what comes in. Its output goes off when its input comes on, and on when its input goes off.
- Its output starts on at the beginning of the run, as if its input were off.
- Like other relays, it waits a short moment before passing a change on.
- Together with a twin button, it lets you build any logic.
Tips
- Use it to turn something off when a button is pressed.
- Remember its output is already on at the start.
