Hello everyone,
I am working on a electronic project for father's day. The present is a simple device that makes a magnet jump every few seconds (like a mexican jumping bean...exept it is a magnet thats jumping :lol: )
A magnet is placed in a coil and when it is connected to a 9V battery for a split second, the magnet jumps.
The problem is I now need a circuit that will turn on for about .1 seconds and then go off for about one second. This way the magnet will "jump" once a second. The ciruit should be able to repeat this cycle as long as the switch is on.
Is there a circuit based on a 555 IC that would be able to do what I want it to do ???
Please help, (Father's day is in about 36 hours :shock: )
