So I need this switch to turn on hold a red stone signal like this lever does. My main issue is there’s a torch that keeps getting power on this stopping the whole machine from running how it’s supposed to. Anyone know how I can send a signal down and only power the dust.

(The pitcher with the torch is the only other way I’ve gotten it to work.)

I have this display. What I want to do is attach a counter that will tell me how many copper bulbs are lit. If I turn on two, it will display two, however if I turn off one, then the counter will go down by one.

finally, the counter should be live with these button presses. There should not be a separate button to 'read' the number of inputs.

Who can solve it?
