In this post we’ll study two simple externally triggered timer circuits for two different application needs, the ideas were requested by Mr. Alan and Ms.Stevanie Circuit Request#1 I only wish I understood electronics as you do. Would you please help me with a simple timer circuit which would be adjustable for up to 30 seconds […]
Timer and Delay Relay
Programmable Solar Porch Light Circuit
In this post I have explained a porch light circuit with programmable timer controller which enables the connected LEDs to light up or shut off after some delay, as preferred by the user, thus it’s not entirely dependent on the solar panel parameters. The idea was requested by “Unknown”. Technical Specifications It’d be neat if […]
Aquarium Fish Feeder Timer Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained an aquarium feeder timer circuit which sustains a set of continuous operations as per a predetermined timing sequence through the respective pot controls. The idea was requested by Mr. Mike. Technical Specifications I am trying to build a timer circuit to control an automatic fish feeder. It needs to […]
Timer Circuits with Auto Pause and Memory During Power Failures
In this post we try to investigate a couple of innovative solutions which could be used for pausing the counting process of a timer IC during power failures, and also restart the process when mains is restored, ensuring a continuous functioning of the timer without errors. The idea was requested by Mr. Arun Dev. Technical […]
Input Trigger Synchronized Monostable Timer Using IC 555
Here we study a simple IC 555 based monostable circuit whose output monostable time duration starts only after the input trigger is released thus making sure that the trigger ON time duration is added with the monostable’s pre-programmed ON time duration. The idea was requested by Mr. John Brogan Technical Specifications I would like to […]
Digital Clock Activated Water Level Controller Circuit
An automatic clock time triggered water level controller circuit which responds to a real time clock input is discussed in the following article. The design also includes a water detection stage which makes sure the initialization takes place only in the presence of water in the tank or the pipe. The idea was requested by […]
