Hello Everyone,
I am very new at electronics and was hoping someone can give me a quick solution or a place to look since my research has come up short.
Is there a way to trigger a one-shot infrared LED in a 555 Timer circuit with a momentary switch continuously depressed?
I have read that the amount of time a switch is depressed has to be shorter than the pulse. In my project, I would like a magnetic connection to press and hold a momentary switch to trigger a one shot infrared LED flash. However I do not want the battery to drain if the pulse is just going to keep happening while the switch is depressed. Not really sure where to look. Every schematic and tutorial does not mention a continuous momentary switch press.
Thank you for your help
