| Simple 12v delay circuit? |

This might be useful. I've wondered how to set the delay on a 555 before but never checked. This is a calculator. http://clarkson-uk.com/555-timer/operation/frames3.html It looks like a set capacitor value with a rheostat would provide a variable delay. Find an appropriate sized capacitor for the rheostat you want to use and you're good to go, right? |

What are the details of the application? |

Looks like there are some great solutions here, I have not had chance to experiment yet. |
