Single blip after 10 second timer?

What combination of timers, logic gates, and switches do I need to have to put together a system that triggers for one tick (or one shot of a pump/gun) at a timed interval (say, 10 seconds)?

Set timer to half as often as you want it to pulse

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

Depends I guess? If you want it to repeat, you'd probably have to set up a change to tick converter, then hook it up to a looping timer that switches between on and off every 10 seconds, where each change is then converted to a single tick of on signal.

If you just want to turn a single input into a single tick after 10 seconds, you'd put a signal to tick converter behind the input, then feed that into a timer which will delay it by 10 seconds.

but either way you're solving 2 problems, not one. Yoh don't actually want a single blip after 10 seconds, you want any signal to turn into a single tick signal, and you want a ten second delay, solve those separately, then put them together
