I used the older version of this one for almost all the timers on my rig. It's multi-function so covers virtually all scenarios. I had a whole load of them in my scrap box that I picked up cheap yrs ago. Not so cheap now though! https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/timer-relays/0160284/ |

--- Quote from: DaOld Man on October 15, 2020, 06:11:10 pm ---However, if you use the timer relay on the wires to the motor, it will have to be heavy enough to handle the current of the motor. You can also use a DPDT timer on the forward and reverse wires from the serial port to the drive. The current on these wires should be very low, probably milliamps. --- End quote --- Good news -- Omron H3Y-2 contacts are rated for 5A and the L298n driver only outputs 3A peak, 2A continuous. ;D If you put the relay on the wires between the driver and motor, it is guaranteed to prevent spurious driver outputs from reaching the motor during boot-up. Not 100% sure if putting the relay on the forward/reverse wires will ensure that the driver won't send spurious outputs to the motor during boot-up. :dunno Scott |

Thanks for the replies guys. I found the "H3y-2" model suggested and can easily get it in my region. I will buy and post the result. Maybe I have doubts in the connection of the wires, but I ask for help :laugh: https://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-856325165-h3y-2-rele-de-tempo-temporizador-timer-com-base-citex-_JM#position=3&type=item&tracking_id=80a5fedd-6b1f-4a44-bb22-d382039aa6f7 |
