@Arabhacks I was thinking the same thing.. hell, even the delay that was introduced could've been done with an RC circuit or some other discrete components. Definitely overkill.. but Its still neat.
That would piss me off twice over though. First, it would piss me off cuz it turns itself off. Then I would get mad at myself for getting mad at a machine doing its job and thinking it would stay on.
now all it needs is a recording that plays just as the lights turn on yelling... idk " GOD DAMNIT!" lid opens, during the delay you hear another recording " LEAVE ME ALONE" flicks the switch. maybe even different recordings every time the switch is flipped. only then will u have "the most ultimate"... in my opinion
The perfect way to distract stupid people: Get them to sit in a dark room, give them the box & tell them they can come out when they have the light on for more than 5 seconds :)
ok i would have one stick that would have nothing and miss the switch by 5 cm the the same part of that stick would be a branch thing with a troll face to turn off the switch
@xetrius you obviously don't get it. it's called the "useless machine" because the stick represents an actual machine which doesn't want to work. when you turn the switch on, the machine turns the switch off like it doesn't want to be bother hence calling it useless. smartass -___-
@OfficiallyMrStud Then they maybe should call it "the foreign machine" or "the dark box" (black box was already taken) and something that doesn't work or doesn't want to work isn't useless by default. Also it's contradictory to call me a smart-ass while trying to correct me.
Not worried about it.
I subscribe to the KISS principle, Keep It Simple,,,,,.
The point being is that this can be done with far fewer parts and at far less expense.
Lets say we use a DPDT switch and a SPDT switch like in the classic design.
Now add a pair of diodes, a resistor and an LED.
That takes care of the light, including the delay.
Add another diode and resistor as well as 2 capacitors and we have the delay circuit (RC) for the motor.
Perhaps $2 in parts added over the original design.

A microcontroller is way overkill.
In the original it is simply a DPDT switch set as a reverser switch and a limit switch.
To add lighting one need only add a lamp to the limit switch circuit.
To add a 2 stage function simply use a solenoid as the last part of the travel and trip on extend.
There is nothing but another switch that trips to do this.
The advantage of doing this totally with switches is that not only is it very simple, and thus reliable, but it teaches KISS.

it is flammable (it could be used as a fuel or heat/light source)
it emits light (it could be used as a light source or communication device)
it produces sound (it could be used as a communication device or music device or a device for own entertainment by the annoyment of others)
it's consistent in time consumption (it could be used to count the amount of open/close intervals between multiple-moments)
etc... etc... "I think this device could have many uses, there for making it possibly useful."
