This timer circuit is similar to the 5 to 30 minute timer except that when switch S1 is closed, the on/off actionof the circuit will continue indefinitely until S1 is opened again. A 7555 time and low leakage type capacitor for C1must be used. The 6 way rotary switch S3 adds extra resistance in series to the timing chain with each rotation, minimum

resistance point "a" maximum point "f". The 7555 is wired as an equal mark/space ratio oscillator, the timingresistor chain R1 to R6, being connected back to the output of the timer at pin 3. The output pulse duration is definedas:- This gives on and off times of about 379 seconds for postion "a" of S3 (just over 6 minutes), to about 38 minutes at point "f". The times may of course be varied by altering R1 to R6 or C1. Below is my test circuit on my breadboard. The switch assembley is not present for clarity and a single 100k resistor and 33u capacitor (next to the 100nF ceramic) were used for test purposes. Please note that electrolytic capacitors have a tolerance of +/- 20%. This means that the nominal value can be higher or lower by 20%. For example, 33uF capacitor may be as high as 39. 6uF or as low as 26. 4uF. For precise timing periods, substitute a fixed resistor in series with a preset resistor, or buy high tolerance 1% capacitors and resistors.
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.....
