Hi everyone,
I am trying to design a circuit that does the following:
1. Takes a DC input (currently 6-15V)
2. cycles the DC input between two (or more) outputs
3. the output charges a capacitor (when the capacitor is charging, the load must not be attached.)
4. once the capacitor is no longer charging, it is "disconnected" from the rest of the circuit and attached to a load.
(sort of like 2x DPT switches that are linked together but wired opposite)
I was thinking about doing this with an astable multivibrator (transistor - not op-amp based), but I get lost from step 3 onwards
I have an empty breadboard, some bc-337's and a bit of time to play with!
If anyone could help, I would be very grateful
TIA!
