Any Electrical Gurus Here Know Stuff About Small Circuts?
« on: October 18, 2007 - 11:06:58 PM »
I would like to make a circut that once a momentary switch is triggered it would open a 12 volt circut to supply two light bulbs, then turn off automaticly in 5 minutes until it is triggered again.

Can anyone point me in the right directions?  :banghead:

You need something like this for precise times.

Good luck. :2thumbs:

Any quality Electrical Supply House would have these.  Can get pricy though, I just bought a TDR 1S-100HR delay and it was 125+ bucks.  Not sure on the 12VDC stuff though. :dunno:

If you have soldering skills, you can build a time delay relay from a 555 timer chip and a standard 12volt relay...shouldn't cost you more than $10-15. I could draw you a schematic if you want to go that route.

Do you still need this circuit?    I have a circuit that I made to honk my Aoogah horn for an adjustable length of time after I hit my spare channel on my remote.  It uses a 555 time too and I can send the schematic up if still needed.

 You need a momentary on switch, a double pole relay and a time delay. Cost under $20.00. If you have an electronics buddy he will make one from junk parts for you. If need help personal me. BUZZARD

I ended up buying this kit http://www.electronickits.com/kit/complete/elec/ck1614.htm Got it sodered together and have to get a new LED and test it. I will post a pic when I am done.
