What am I looking for? A relay perhaps?
« on: May 26, 2004, 07:53:43 am »
I don't know a whole lot about electronics, so bare with me here.

I need a switch that is activated by 12v, kinda like this:

12v is applied to the THINGY, the THINGY connects 2 wires for 1-2 seconds then releases.  Keep in mind 12v was not disconnected from the THINGY at any point in time... When power is disconnected, nothing happens, but the THINGY is ready to do it all over again.

Now, is that something that exists already?  If not, would it be easy enough to throw it together with basic soldering skills?

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

You want what's called an "Interval On" time delay relay such as NTE # R30-11D10-24K. Unfortuneately this relay is a 24 volt dc, but this is an example you can check out at www.nteinc.com

Crashwg,

Like making the sound that Qbert made when it hit the ground?
