Hello,
I am hoping one of you guys can help me out. I know very little of electronics, but I'm learning along the way. I'm working on some project and I kinda hit a wall.
I want a lamp to only burn for 5-10 seconds when I hit a switch. After the 5-10 seconds, I want to be able to press the switch again in order for the lamp to burn again (for 5-10 seconds). As my switch is a micro switch, I am looking for something I can attach between the switch and the lamp.
I've been searching the web, but I can only find time relays, or the sorts. But these are very expensive and more importantly very big. I'm sure there are other components. I just have no idea what I'm searching for.
I've come across kits for building your own time delay, but I'm looking for something I can buy and use right away. Preferably also a sturdy, small, solid one that can take some rattling.
If anyone can point to what I should be searching for, I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks for taking the time to read this
Regards,
Chara
