I just came across a little snag that was introduced with Bahni's automation upgrade.
Before that upgrade, if you would connect a wire to a NOT gate and one port of an AND gate, with the other end of the NOT gate hooked up to the 2nd port on the AND gate, you'd have an Edge detector. Every time the wire would switch from 0 to 1, the AND gate would briefly send a 1 signal on it's output wire before switching back to 0. With the new animated NOT and AND gates, this no longer works.

While I can work around this as I strictly speaking don't NEED one, anyone have any ideas on how to make an edge detector with this upgrade?

Use a buffer or filter gate in series with the NOT. I have been doing that all along anyways. That way you also get control over the length of the output pulse.

However, I just tried it and at least for me the simple NOT+AND and the NOT+OR edge detectors seem to work.

Odd.. the NOT + AND setup doesn't produce any edge pulses for me. Maybe it's something to do with game speed or something. At any rate, I also figured out a new edge detector. if you take the new counting thingamabob, set it to 1, and route the output signal to it's reset. every time the input goes from 0 to 1, the output goes to 1, then resets itself back to 0 with the loop, thus generating a pulse. meanwhile the 1 signal at the input will not trigger anything new as it only triggers the 0->1 signal in the counter.

AND+NOT still works but counter set to 1 and reset connected to output is easier.

It outputs a single pulse of green whenever an input goes green no matter the length of time the input is green.

In electronics (for example), you have level detectors (the output goes active when and as long as the input is in a certain signal range) and edge detectors, where the output goes active for a short time when the input changes in a specific direction. This is, for example, often used to drive a Flip-Flop.
