Relatively new to the world of electronics, it just all seems so magical to me!
I was hoping be able to figure this out but can’t seem to find anything online which performs the function I need,
So here is the scenario:
2.5V panel mount LED on a boost control box running around 0.2A, the LED is on constantly, and I’d like to turn it off after a few seconds of being on, at the moment I have a flap of electrical tape that I put over it when im driving at night!
I have looked into a 555 timer but the circuits seem to require 5V,
There is a local 12V supply that is constantly live, but I don’t want to introduce any more voltage into the box from fear of blowing it up!
Would anyone have any suggestions? Im sure there must be a simple way to do this that im just not able to find!
Thanks
