I'm not a great wizard with electronic circuits but I'm trying to learn.
I would like to build a 12v delay circuit. It would need to delay the off cycle by 0.1 sec.
I drag race and sometimes use a pro tree (.400 sec) and sometimes a sportsman tree (.500 sec). If I had a .100 sec delay circuit, my reaction times wouldn't need to vary based on tree type.
The trans brake button holds the circuit closed (12v goes to a solenoid at the transmission. When the button is released, the current is cut from the solenoid and the car launches. I'd like a switchable circuit that would allow a hard wired direct connection to the solenoid and a second circuit that would allow a .100 sec delay in cutting the power to the solenoid.
Is this something that can be done by a novice?
Thanks,
RogerRoger
