The schematic requires few components, because the timer function has been incorporated by Nutchip. For once, from the start, made up of contacts of the relay RE1 connected to terminal M2. If we turn on an appliance at the end of time, we will use the relay contact is signed (normally open) and the COM contact (common). But if we are interested in off the load at the end of time we will use the pair of contacts COM and NC (normally closed). The relay RE1 is driven by Nutchip junction 4 of the transistor TR1, and is suitable for connecting devices up to 300-350W of power. For higher powers use a power relay out, as described below.

In addition to turning on the relay RE1, the transistor driver DL4 also the LED, which lights up whenever the relay is energized. The other outputs of Nutchip, OUT1 to OUT3 are connected to as many LEDs that indicate the delay time selected.
The time selection is done by pressing one of SW3 (90 minutes), SW4 (3 hours), SW5 (6 hours). When pressed, the appropriate input (2 to 4) will go to logic 0.
The button SW2 is connected to 1, and is used to manually turn off the relay, canceling the effect of the timer. Another button, SW1, has the opposite effect, and it works by resetting the chip.
The Nutchip oscillates at a frequency of 4MHz, determined by ' ceramic resonator OSC1. The CN1 connector is used only for the suid of the chip, and you can omit it if you pre-program the chip to another circuit. We suggest you keep it, not only because it is easier to change the truth table on the fly. Through the interface, since you can "see" the inputs and outputs on your PC using the software Nutchip Commander: a useful tool to understand very thoroughly how to "run" the chip.
To turn on an appliance consuming large amounts (more than 2.1 amps, approximately 350 watts) using the power relay (switch) into alternating current. You find them in electrical stores.
A power relay does not directly with the pilot is Nutchip, it interposes a rather smaller relay (the relay driver, in our case RE1). To realize this circuit you should...
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.....
