Hello let me start straight away by saying I know very little about electronics as I’m sure you will notice. I have been looking through your FAQ and at some of the site linked. I am trying to learn.
Anyway I started this whole learning electronics because I want to modify this timer I have (or rebuild from scratch if there are a lot of changes).
**broken link removed**
Anyway this allows me to pulse for up to 5 seconds and then pause for up to 60 seconds then repeat. Now I need to improve these lengths of time and as far as I understand using higher resistance potentiometers (I hope that’s spelt right) would do this.
So first of all is that correct?
Then secondly I want to up the times to 10 mins pulse and 7 hours pause which is a huge leap, and I'm totally guessing here, but that may be too much of a stretch for just changing the pots.
So is there anything else I should change on this to achieve what I'm after?
Here is the build guide I hope it has all the information that you need to help me.

Thank you very much for helping and if there is anything else you need to know I do have the timer with me so if the information is on a component I can tell you it.
