This circuit is basically a simple yet extremely accurate push button monostable timer using one half of a CD4538 dual monostable multivibrator IC. It works as a one-shot timer, where one press and release of S1 produces one timed output pulse. This pulse turns ON the BC557 transistor and the LED for around 7 seconds, […]

Long Duration Timer Circuit using IC 4541: Working and Calculations
The CD4541B is a CMOS programmable timer IC, and we use it where long delay interval is needed for a load, and also for jobs like frequency division, or timing pulse work. And all this happens with only just a few outside parts, not much around it. With ordinary IC 555, when delay becomes too […]
Programmable 35238-MP Timer Module? How to Use it
So this 35238-MP Multi-Function Timer module is an digital adjustable programmable timer which we can use it for doing time-based automation things. Inside it, there is a microprocessor that watches time very closely and makes the relay turn ON or OFF after a set time. So this thing is good when we want to turn […]
How to Connect 5V Relay Module: Testing and Interfacing
In this post we are talking about this handy little gadget called a 5V single-channel relay module. It is super useful for our microcontroller projects whether we are using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or even the ESP8266/ESP32. Let us break it down together, what it is, how it works, and how we can connect it. Understanding […]
Convert any Existing AC Lamp into Timer Controlled Lamp
The proposed push button timer circuit module can be directly integrated with any existing switch contacts of a lamp and enable the lamp to be converted into a timer controlled lamp. A common problem arises whenever one wants to replace a mains AC lamp controlled by a switch with a timer or a time switch. […]
Delay OFF Lamp Timer Circuit
This delay off lamp timer circuit will automatically switch OFF a connected lamp after a predetermined time has elapsed. This time delay can be adjusted with a variable resistor or a potentiometer. The circuit is initiated by pressing a push button, which causes the connected lamp to switch ON. The lamp will continue to remain […]
