Over the weekend, someone asked me for further details/examples of FSM. I've found a couple of old threads I posted on the forum. Here are the links... > [@Matt's Mathematical Magic Machine (M4)](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/matts-mathematical-magic-machine-m4/19775): > > This is just pure fun!!! Think of a number between 1 and 15 and this magical machine will find out what it is for you. Here's the magical code with an embedded FSM (it uses the node ui\_table which you may need to install). I've used the 'dark theme' for the dashboard. You might want to change the (yellow) font colour.

It has a finite state machine (FSM) for each of the 6 signals and an animated slider to mimic a train journey. To keep things simple there is only one buffer block (caution block) - you can obviously modify that by introducing additional blocks and signals. BOD means Block Occupancy Detector. Hope you find it useful. The Node-RED flow is below as together with the screenshots it … --- _[View the full topic](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/finite-state-machine-fsm-with-delay/88275)._
