**_EDIT: fixed dead link._**

My take is a bit different-- as most of my takes seem to be. 😆 :

A Client folder called “Flash”. This folder contains a tag called RootValue, which is updated by a Client Timer script running at 125ms:

`value=system.tag.read("[Client]Flash/RootValue").value + 1
if value > 15:
  value = 0
system.tag.write("[Client]Flash/RootValue", value)`

Then, added four more tags, each extracting a different bit from RootValue.

Now I have four different bits with four different rates.

Here is a complete project to illustrate.
