Hello All!
First off, I have seen many posts on this site with suggested timing circuits involving the CD4060. I'm still sifting thru those and have found similar circuits that may work for what I need. I would like to use the CD4060 with a crystal oscillator (32786Hz) configuration. It would need to be low power consumption, as I would like to drive it with either 2 AA or AAA batteries. The circuit will start supplying power from a toggle switch, and light an led from the start for 12 hours, then off 12, then repeat. My original thought was 6 hours on, then 18 off, repeat, but I'll keep it simple and stick with 12 on/off for now. I would like to keep the parts list low if possible.
I think the 4060 has one output pin capable of doing the 12 hour on/off, just want to confirm that. Most circuits I've seen, I think start Low. I would like the led to turn on first then go low. As far as I can tell, my parts lists would only consist of 1 4060, couple caps and resistors, led and switch.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
