Description
This is my original design for a toggle switch. It isn't perfectly synced, so every 14th press of the button will turn the switch on then off again. It works fine other than that.

I'm still working on this design. It's possible that a clock generator or a timed pulse can smooth it out and make it work perfectly. I'll keep tweaking it until I'm satisfied. It's already a decent toggle switch though. It's definitely a lot cheaper than the other two pedestal toggle switch designs I've seen so far.

It should be fairly easy to see how it works just by watching it operate. The sliding platform on the back wall is the on/off timer and the piston platform on the left is the timer that cuts off power from the pedestal switch early so the on/off timer doesn't move for the full 3 seconds (the stupid 3 second minimum on the pedestal switch is the cause of all this trouble in the first place. Valve could give us a toggle switch if they wanted.)

Wow, the way you timed the platform here is pretty cool ^^ Not perfect at long term (little movement of the moving platform) but nicely done anyway ;) Again made me think about my own moving platform switch : For me it will never fail, but it's a bit longer to toogle ^^"
