Hey!  
I'm trying to send a high signal for a specific amount of seconds.  
I was wondering if anyone knows a specific node for this, I have looked around but haven't found anything yet..

The aim is to send a 30 second high signal.

I have tried the trigger node but for some reason it didn't work, the signal was still high after 30 seconds

It worked, I don't know what I did wrong the last time.

I must have made a stupid mistake, sorry for wasting your time
