Okay so your suggesting I swap out that diode for a 5v zener diode and put in a small value capacitor in front of it?
so something like this?
And where should I put the resistor?
Sorry for all these questions, you guys have been so much help! Thank you!
oops! I didn't even notice, that was completely by accident, rather than by design. I'm really not good with circuit design, as you can probably tell, I'm more of a mechanical kind of guy :)
R1a should be connected before that resistor, and R1b should be connected to the other side of the...
okay, so I downloaded a different datasheet, which had the diagram of how to connect the capacitor and resistor. I hope I have it right this time.
As for the project....well, don't laugh but I stumbled upon this youtube video a while ago where this guy mocked up a shoe that supposedly...
I already have read the datasheet, that's how I knew which pins were the timing input ones...I guess I missed the bit about independent capacitors and resistors.
So would this be alright?
Fingers crossed!
Okay, this is probably wrong, seeing as I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, but would this work as a fully functioning circuit?
I'm guessing not, but I thought it was worth a shot.
That is awesome! thank you so much Laplace.
Just a few questions, because i don't completely understand it (I'm trying my best to get my head around this stuff).
First, how is the timing controlled? as you're using a monostable multivibrator I assume through the value of a resistor and...
hmmm.... I might have to do that then. I actually own an old pic project book, it's just that I'm in my last year of highschool, so I don't have a whole lot of spare time on my hands with exams and all, and I'm taking off overseas next year so I didn't really want to invest time and money into...
The only problem being that I can't program a microcontroller lol :(
Is there a way for that same setup to work without the microcontroller? Also, the switch that first triggers the motor (the forward motion, trip protected one) needs to be a spst push switch for the application I have in...
Hi everyone,
A bit of background first, I know only the basics of electronics (ie: I know what components do and how to read schematics), but have no idea how to design circuits, hence why I'm coming here for help.
Now to the (slightly odd) circuit.
- In essence I simply need to trigger a DC...
