Hey Bud stands for Block Update Detector.

It does work it's just a tricky mechanism that wasn't explained by the devs a while lot.

I found this out by myself.

Here's how I got it to work.

What you want to do is place a dirt block and place the observer on top of the dirt. When you place the block you should see a texture with a up arrow on the observer. Now destroy the dirt block. Place a piston on top of the observer, any direction will do, where the arrow is pointing to the piston. Now place another piston two blocks away facing the observer place a block in front of the piston. So the piston can push the block. Now activate it somehow.

What it should do is when the bottom piston pushes a block underneath the observer, it will send a Redstone signal the way the arrow is pointing. Meaning it'll send a signal to the top piston for a short time. Making it extend for about 2 seconds. Idk how to get it to stay extended.
