Hi there. I am working on a project that requires a delay for the power. Specifically, instant on - delay off, after switch is released. Three things stand in my way:
1. I have NO electronics knowledge.....at all, well, I can connect a switch to a battery to a motor.
2. After the required 10-20 sec. on delay, it must turn off, but be ready to be switched on again at any time, ie. momentary switch.
3. Must be relatively low in cost, and easily reproduced, 100-1000s of times for a possible commercial product.
I am prototyping an item that is fairly simple in design. Push a button, relay trips, motor runs for 10-20sec, then shuts off. Push it again, it all repeats. Power is supplied by a battery, most likely 7.2 NimH motor is 6-12v.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
