electronics question

Does anyone know a place on the internet that carries 12volt timers that can run something for a set time and turn it off for a set time?

I'm having trouble finding some.

thanks

I just did a google for timers 12 volt and there are tonnes. That is just the first one I found. Works with both 6 volt and 12 volt systems. (I presume it is made for stuff like furnace controllers, or relayed switches for lighting-banks... dunnno)


EDIT: Looks like it was made for blower and heat switching and control. Might work for what you want

EDIT2: Its on a hunting site, and is a Remington. I therefor have NO idea what its intended use is now.. Anyone have an idea?

Thanks for the link.
I'm actually looking for something with maybe dip switches, no screen.

I dont know how electrically inclined you are, but you can build one using a 556 IC timer.

Thanks for the info, I'm going to look into them.

Although it would be more expensive, you could use a nutchip.
It has 4 inputs and 4 outputs.
You could tie four dip switches to the inputs and give you the selectable timing rates you are looking for.
The nutchip is programmable with a serial connection to your computer.
Once you program it, you dont need to leave it connected to the PC. Plus it uses 5 volt power.

Learn more about the Nutchip

Edit: I was thinking of another post where someone wanted 5 volt timers. You will need to add a 5 volt regulator to use the nutchip on 12 volts.
