I am a mechanical engineering student, and for a part of my design project I wish to use a timer as so the motor switches off about 40-50 seconds after activation. The 555 timer chip is a rectangle with a indented o on the top, i assumed this was equivalent to the cutout semi circle (please tell me i don`t have the chip the wrong way around). With

the chip package in the orientation you describe, pin 1 is at the upper left, pin 2, 3, and 4 are below it, in order, on the left side. Proceeding around the package in an anticlockwise direction, pin 5 is at the lower right, then 6, 7, and 8. Pin 8 is opposite pin 1, at the upper right corner of the package. I have just had a look at the circuit and to run a motor you need a transistor to handle the current, it is most likely you have burned out the internal device. It can only handle 100ma or so. You need a power device and it should have the base connected to pin 3 then the collector to +V and emitter to the motor put a diode across the the motor terminals cathode to +V terminal with a 0. 1uF cap ceramic 32v for up to 12V supply. Use an NPN Tr. BFY50 or 2N3055 TIP3055 with a heat sink. You may need to use a Darlington configuration if the current is above 1. 5 amp for the motors, remember the starting current for a small DC motor can be 10 to 20 times is running current, and any load will demand a proportion more than no load. It depends on the torque required. I hope this helps you out some. There`s them that knows and them that just thinks they know, whitch are you Stir the pot and see what rises up. I have catalytic properties I get a reaction going. Here it is suggested a NPN power transistor. Be sure the output from 555 has also reverse diode protection as output from power transistor (another diode reverse...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
