  yes if you want a lot of useful modifications to it i have some here id:1410219

  This is directly copied from cracker64. Not really any substantial modifications, and the concept has been around for a long time.

  @TheBen, Let me explain to you how your counter works. The PSCN turns on the SWCH. When sparked again, the METL to the left of the PSCN goes through the SWCH, passing to the NSCN to the right of the SWCH, deactivating the SWCH. The SWCH also conducts to the METL to the right of the NSCN, which in turn causes the next PSCN to turn on the subsequent SWCH, and thus continues the cycle. I made a more compact version of your binary counter at id:1612127. Feel free to use it, I take no credit for it.

  Oh my god G-LinuxorU, you're right. Truth be told, I didn't even look at that to make this, yet it's practically identical. Huh

  This does not work properly for me...

  @Ferne I guess that light is one and dark is zero.

  cracker64 programmed this feature into SWCH many years ago. id:708701. there are different binary counters available but this one is probably the easiest to use. (protip use Dtec(bray) on the amber bray)

  This is cool, I might even use this for a CPU that im building. Also, I'll give you credit if I use this.

  this isnt the smallest bin counter in terms of space, its 3x10 px per bit.I know one (discovered by accident) wich is 1x9 per bit.Theoretically it should be possible smaller,but since I dont exactly konw how mine works its somewhat difficult

  my one is longer but is one pixel thick
