Hello All,
I have a question on a project that I have been thinking about and I don't know where to begin. I am hoping that I can get some suggestions and guidance from you fine folks on here.
My project involves a pinball machine and I would like to build a timing circuit. What I want to do is make a pulsing 50vdc activate and continuously run a pair of mars rotating beacons. I want the beacons to run until the pulsing voltage stops and then the beacons can stop.
Here's the setup. I have a shaker motor that runs on 50vdc and the logic pulses the voltage to the motor to vary the intensity of the shaking. I want to hook up the lights and use the pulsing voltage as a trigger to turn on the beacons.
Any ideas on a what kind of circuit to build? I have been looking at a 555 timer running as a retriggerable monostable circuit, but the voltages don't look right. Maybe I just don't understand as much as I should. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
