Long time reader, first time poster.
First off, I'm not real keen on electronics beyond knowing what capacitors, resistors, and diodes are for, but I love to tinker and learn.
My hope is that someone is willing to design a circuit and provide parts list so I can build this. (Practice for you?)
This circuit should activate with the introduction of light, power a small DC motor for 5-10 minutes, and then shut off the motor. The motor should stay running for the full 5-10 minute cycle, even if the light is removed.
A push-button activation would be nice, but not necessary.
The power supply for this is 12vDC, 1A from a AC transformer.
The motor is 12V and draws 500mA (don't have specs for the stall draw)
Thanks in advance for any help. If you need any other information, just ask.
Thanks!
