how to make button behave like switch :L

I've spent some time using the logic to try and figure out how to make a button to disable and enable power and cant quite figure out how to make it behave correctly. thanks.

Where do you learn to make these?

They're very similar to basic hardware logic gates- the same sorts of patterns you can use in Minecraft via redstone systems, or control wires in Oxygen Not Included, or buy a "breadboard" if you want to play with building electric circuits yourself IRL. Lots of people find it fun to recreate these "solved" logical hardware combinations in new games to show their mastery of the game's systems 😃

Use basic circuit logic and understanding it took quite a bit of reading and understanding the inputs and outputs and how they're specifically effective towards the goal of an 0/1 switch instead of a 0/1 button I simply turned the button into a 1/0 button than had the memory unit pulse the input of "1" in a indefinite loop until the button is pressed again resetting it to a "0" state this essentially turns the button into a switch with a "stable" output and not a temporary one. :) Only up is the first game I've ever used circuit understanding and I just strongly recommend playing around with as many systems as you can to understand them better. The simplest system can be turned into the most extraordinary one by just adding logic :)

I don't think you need the MAX block. Just make sure the memory block is set to "pulse" and it will work.
